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
