HARVEST WAS AN AFFAIR THAT THE WHOLE VILLAGE PARTICIPATED IN --
YOUNG AND OLD ALIKE. ON THE DAY THAT A FARMER'S HARVEST WAS
DECLARED, MOST OF THE VILLAGERS TURNED OUT TO HELP HIM. IT WAS
AT THESE HARVESTS THAT MANY YOUNG GIRLS FELL IN LOVE WITH SOME OF
THE FARM HANDS. ONLY THE OLDER HOUSEWIVES STAY HOME AND PREPARE
HUGE AMOUNTS OF FOOD FOR THE MID-DAY MEAL AND THEN THE BIG DINNER
OF THE HARVESTERS AT THE END OF THE DAY.
YOUNG MEN, OLDER MEN AND EVEN WOMEN GO ON UP AHEAD AND CUT THE
WHEAT WITH SICKLES. THE YOUNGER PEOPLE ( GIRLS AND LITTLE BOYS )
GO BEHIND AND CUT THE WHEAT OR WHATEVER INTO BUNDLES AND STAND
THEM UP BEHIND THEM, COME OTHERS TO STACK UP FIVE BUNDLES TO A
STACK SO THAT THE LOADERS WOULD BE ABLE TO LOAD THEM INTO THE
TRUCK EASILY. WITH EVERYONE HELPING, A FARMER'S HARVEST IS USUALLY
DONE IN ABOUT THREE DAYS.
AT NIGHT, EVERYONE SITS TOGETHER TALKING, SINGING, JOKING, DANCING.
IT WAS A TIME OF HAPPINESS AND CHEERFULNESS BEFORE THE
REDS TOOK OVER.

DON'T PUT MY BOY IN PRISON
A MOTHER WAS WEEPING AND WAILING
THE COURTROOM WAS FILLED WITH A CROWD
THE JUDGE SAYS WHY MADAME, WHAT'S AILING
AND THE POOR WOMAN SHOUTED OUT LOUD
DON'T PUT MY BOY IN PRISON
DON,T TAKE MY BOY FROM ME
THOUGH FROM THE BANKS HE TOOK MONEY
HE JUST WANTED SAMPLES YOU SEE.
DON'T SEND MY BOY TO PRISON
DOWN WHERE THE GANGSTERS SWARM
THOUGH HE SET THE ORPHANAGE ON FIRE
HE JUST DID IT SO HE COULD BE WARM.
DON'T PUT MY BOY IN PRISON
FOR NEVER MORE WILL HE ROAM
HE DIDN'T STEAL THAT CHICKEN
IT JUST FOLLOWED HIM HOME.
DON'T SEND MY BOY TO PRISON
WHERE ALL IS COLD AND NUMB
HE DIDN'T STEAL THAT PORK CHOP
THE PORK CHOP JUST STUCK TO HIS THUMB.
DON'T PUT MY BOY IN PRISON
WHERE HE WILL EAT STALE BREAD
JUST FIND THE GUY THAT WROTE THIS STORY
AND SEND HIM THERE INSTEAD.
