Fuji Harvest

I've been working on a fruitless orchard, been searching the lands

No trace of a Fuji harvest, only dirt on my hands

I've been diggin' in a mine that's empty, no signs of coal

Only the glimmer of lonely headlamp headin' in 'fore dinner gets cold

Darling, I would work for you long as you want me to

Long as I have your word you'll be there waiting

Smilin', the way you always do

Oh, I could count every tooth

I'd slave my life away for you

I've been choppin' this tree since daybreak, haven't left a dent

It's no doubt that my ax was sharper as a younger man

I made a vow I'd provide for you, I hope you'd understand

Even the days when I'm comin' up empty, I'm doing all that I can

Darling, I would work for you 'long as you want me to

Long as I have your word you'll be there waiting

Smilin' the way you always do

Oh, I could count every tooth

I'd slave my life away for you

For you

I've been working on an endless railway, I don't know where it goes

But all the fellas in the long-coat suits, well, they all seem to know

Next fall, I'll leave in the morning, leavin' behind the fools

Dim enough to bank on gold showin' up without any tools

And, darling, I would work for you long as you want me to

I'm getting on that train with nothing to lose

And one day, when I return home

Haulin' my weight in gold

We'll live like we always wanted to
