King Harvest (has Surely Come) Lyrics

King Harvest (has Surely Come)

Corn in the fields.

Listen to the rice when the wind blows 'cross the
water,

FA          FmAb       C

 King Harvest has surely come.



Am              G    Bb              FG  C 

 I work for the
union 'cause she's so good to me;

Am                     F

 And I'm
bound to come out on top,

Dm              E

 that's where I should
be.

       Am         Bb           C        G

I will hear ev'ry
word the boss may say,

    Am          Bb           C            G

For he's the one who hands me down my pay.

Am         Bb              
C              G

Looks like this time I'm gonna get to stay,

Am    
Bb        C             G    Am G Bb F

 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 H
