Lyrics

[02:42.30][00:04.77] Corn in the fields
[02:44.84][00:07.46] Listen to the rice when the wind blows cross the water
[02:50.14][00:13.00] King harvest has surely come
[00:17.20] I work for the union
[00:22.25] cause she's so good to me
[00:26.49] And I'm bound to come out on top
[00:31.32] That's where she said I should be
[00:35.03] I will hear every word the boss may say
[00:40.17] For he's the one who hands me down my pay
[00:45.65] Looks like this time I'm gonna get to stay
[00:50.46] I'm a union man now all the way
[00:57.22] The smell of the leaves
[00:59.62] From the magnolia trees in the meadow
[01:05.55] King harvest has surely come
[01:09.22] Dry summer then comes fall
[01:13.76] Which I depend on most of all
[01:18.85] Hey rainmaker can't you hear the call
[01:23.53] Please let these crops grow tall
[01:27.99] Long enough I've been up on skid row
[01:32.48] And it's plain to see I've nothing to show
[01:37.85] I'm glad to pay those union dues
[01:42.57] Just don't judge me by my shoes
[01:49.38] Scarecrow and a yellow moon
[01:52.18] And pretty soon a carnival on the edge of town
[01:57.91] King harvest has surely come
[02:01.63] Last year this time wasn't no joke
[02:06.12] My whole barn went up in smoke
[02:11.16] My horse jethro well he went mad
[02:15.35] And I can't ever remember things being that bad
[02:19.73] Then there comes a man with a paper and a pen
[02:25.06] Telling us our hard times are about to end
[02:29.98] And then if they don't give us what we like
[02:34.59] He said men that's when you gotta go on strike
[02:51.98] ~~solo~~
