Singin' To The Scarecrow

In a pair of faded coverallsAnd her mama's old high heelsShe wobbles up and takes a shakey bowShe smiles a little smileThat hides her missing baby toothAnd she manages to sing that way some howWhy she starts with "Delta Dawn"And goes into "Amazing Grace"Then squints her eyes and sings "I Fought the Law"And when the wind comes sweeping in and ripples through the cornTo her it sounds exactly like applause.She's just singing to the scarecrowDancing throught the fieldsWith a kitten and bo-jingles in her armsTrying to let the whole world know how wonderful it feelsTo be here on this South Kentucky FarmSinging to the scarecrowShe looks his patchwork eyesAnd looks into his heartAnd tries to find a song to ease his painAnd she sings "Faded Love" until the sunny sky grows darkAnd his tears are falling in the somber rainAnd she's singing to the scarecrowDancing throught the fieldsWith a kitten and bo-jingles in her armsTrying to let the whole world know how wonderful it feelsTo be here on this South Kentucky FarmSinging to the scarecrowWell now that little girl is grownShe's in a band out on the roadShe left those Green Kentucky fields behindBut she sings herself back homeWhen she's at the microphoneAnd she smiles that funny smile and shuts her yesYeah she's still singing to the scarecrowTrying to let the whole world know how wonderful it feelsTo be here on this South Kentucky FarmSinging to the scarecrowSinging to the scarecrowHey.. Yeah!
