Lyrics The Harvest - Bobby Darin

The Harvest

Planted a seed of an apple one day
Now I got a fig leaf to cover my head
Ain’t that a way to make a wheel go boy
Ain’t that a way to make a wheel
Man of truth on a slab of stone
Words still left, but the eyesight’s gone
Ain’t that a way to make a wheel go boy
Ain’t that a way to make a wheel
Fed a whole tribe with fish and bread
Saw him a-comin', and left me for dead
Ain’t that a way to make a wheel go boy
Ain’t that a way to make a wheel
Had a good ship on the Aegean Sea
But it sunk in the ocean, but it sure wasn’t free
Ain’t that a way to make a wheel go boy
Ain’t that a way to make a wheel
Took a lot of work to build a row of his own
But the men who built it didn’t have no home
Ain’t that a way to make a wheel go boy
Ain’t that a way to make a wheel
Spread the word 'til you have a crusade
Steppin' on a grave, 'til you find out where it’s paid
Ain’t that a way to make a wheel go boy
Ain’t that a way to make a wheel
Had a revolution gonna set us all free
Well it worked for you, but hasn’t for me
Ain’t that a way to make a wheel go boy
Ain’t that a way to make a wheel
Had to fly into Chicago
Damn if the mother-lover power would grow
Ain’t that a way to make a wheel go boy
Ain’t that a way to make a wheel
Bought a little island for twenty-four bucks
It’s worth its weight, now in garbage trucks
Ain’t that a way to make a wheel go boy
Ain’t that a way to make a wheel
Man of the mushrooms forty-five
Ah… Ah… nobody’s alive
Ain’t that a way to make a wheel go boy
Ain’t that a way to make a wheel
