King Harvest — текст песни (Band, The)

Corn in the fields
Listen to the rice when the wind blows `cross the water
King Harvest has surely come
I work for the union `cause she`s so good to me
And I`m bound to come out on top that`s where I should be
I will hear ev`ry word the boss may say
For he`s the one who hands me down my pay
Looks like this time I`m gonna get to stay
I`m a union man, now, all the way

The smell of the leaves
From the magnolia trees in the meadow
King Harvest has surely come

Dry summer, then comes fall
Which I depend on most of all
Hey, rainmaker, can`t you hear my call?
Please let these crops grow tall
Long enough I`ve been up on Skid Row
And it`s plain to see, I`ve nothin to show
I`m glad to pay those union dues
Just don`t judge me by my shoes

Scarecrow and a yellow moon
And pretty soon a carnival on the edge of town
King Harvest has surely come

Last year, this time, wasn`t no joke
My whole barn went up in smoke
My horse Jethro, well he went mad
And I can`t remember things bein` so bad
Then there comes a man with a paper and a pen
Tellin` us our hard times are about to end
And then, if they don`t give us what we like
He said, Men, that`s when you gotta go on strike

Corn in the fields
Listen to the rice when the wind blows `cross the water
King Harvest has surely come
