[Verse 1] A farmer took his old overalls A plaid green shirt and he stuffed them with straw Put a sweatstained work hat on my head Handed me a hayfork, now here I stand [Chorus] I chase away the crow and deer I proudly do my job round here Rain or shine, I guard these rows Thats the life of an old scarecrow [Verse 2] Last summer, that tornado came Nearly blew that old gray barn away I watched it plow the back forty field But through the grace of God, left me standing still [Chorus] I chase away the crow and deer I proudly do my job round here Rain or shine, I guard these rows Thats the life of an old scarcrow [Bridge] But when the cold wind blows, theyll tak me down And put me up in that old barn Through cracks and holes, Ill listen And keep an eye on this old farm [Verse 1] A farmer took his old overalls A plaid green shirt and he stuffed them with straw Put a sweatstained work hat on my head Handed me a hayfork, now here I stand
