Lanky Scarecrow

I'm a Scarecrow, wool made my belly grow Down came that accursed calm crow And covered me in feathers. She comes and she goes You never mind me, and you eat the crops whole How can I scare you? Is there any emotion you'll show At least peck at me, I'm stuck on this stupid pole I'm a scarecrow, there's a lot I don't know But I seem to have a heart, it's just fallow You're a calm crow, soar and look below There, my lanky figure! You pass by even so You're a calm crow, caw for the murder Desolate the field I protect. To the Dirt Snag my Sun bleached flannel when you use me as a perch What's this scarecrow good for? Just a moment's mirth I'll eat up everything that grows from the earth And he'll still stand here when I return
