| [00:52.96] | Corn in the fields |
| [00:55.27] | Listen to the rice when the wind blows 'cross the water |
| [01:00.83] | King harvest has surely come |
| [01:03.01] | |
| [01:04.97] | I work for the union |
| [01:09.45] | 'Cause she's so good to me |
| [01:14.14] | And I'm bound to come out on top |
| [01:18.74] | That's where she said I should be |
| [01:21.13] | |
| [01:22.27] | I will hear every word the boss may say |
| [01:27.40] | For he's the one who hands me down my pay |
| [01:32.67] | Looks like this time I'm gonna get to stay |
| [01:37.46] | I'm a union man, now, all the way |
| [01:40.86] | |
| [01:44.11] | The smell of the leaves |
| [01:46.44] | From the magnolia trees in the meadow |
| [01:51.81] | King harvest has surely come |
| [01:54.16] | |
| [01:55.79] | Dry summer, then comes fall |
| [02:00.23] | Which I depend on most of all |
| [02:05.09] | Hey, rainmaker, can't you hear the call? |
| [02:09.90] | Please let these crops grow tall |
| [02:13.21] | |
| [02:13.90] | Long enough I've been up on skid row |
| [02:18.51] | And it's plain to see, I've nothin' to show |
| [02:23.75] | I'm glad to pay those union dues |
| [02:28.42] | Just don't judge me by my shoes |
| [02:31.64] | |
| [02:35.05] | Scarecrow and a yellow moon |
| [02:37.66] | Pretty soon the carnival on the edge of town |
| [02:42.90] | King harvest has surely come |
| [02:45.15] | |
| [02:46.86] | Last year, this time, wasn't no joke |
| [02:51.22] | My whole barn went up in smoke |
| [02:56.07] | My horse Jethro, well he went mad |
| [03:00.51] | And I can't remember things bein' that bad |
| [03:03.68] | |
| [03:04.85] | Then here come a man with a paper and a pen |
| [03:09.96] | Tellin' us our hard times are about to end |
| [03:14.78] | And then, if they don't give us what we like |
| [03:19.48] | He said, 'Men, that's when you gotta go on strike' |
| [03:22.32] | |
| [03:25.98] | Corn in the fields |
| [03:28.30] | Listen to the rice when the wind blows 'cross the water |
| [03:33.75] | King Harvest has surely come |
