|
In a pair of faded coveralls
|
And her mama's old high heels
|
She wobbles up and takes a shakey bow
|
She smiles a little smile
|
That hides her missing baby tooth
|
And she manages to sing that way some how
|
|
Why 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 corn
|
To her it sounds exactly like applause.
|
|
She's just singing to the scarecrow
|
Dancing throught the fields
|
With a kitten and bo-jingles in her arms
|
Trying to let the whole world know how wonderful it feels
|
To be here on this South Kentucky Farm
|
Singing to the scarecrow
|
|
She looks his patchwork eyes
|
And looks into his heart
|
And tries to find a song to ease his pain
|
And she sings "Faded Love" until the sunny sky grows dark
|
And his tears are falling in the somber rain
|
|
And she's singing to the scarecrow
|
Dancing throught the fields
|
With a kitten and bo-jingles in her arms
|
Trying to let the whole world know how wonderful it feels
|
To be here on this South Kentucky Farm
|
Singing to the scarecrow
|
|
Well now that little girl is grown
|
She's in a band out on the road
|
She left those Green Kentucky fields behind
|
But she sings herself back home
|
When she's at the microphone
|
And she smiles that funny smile and shuts her yes
|
|
Yeah she's still singing to the scarecrow
|
Trying to let the whole world know how wonderful it feels
|
To be here on this South Kentucky Farm
|
Singing to the scarecrow
|
|
Singing to the scarecrow
|
|
Hey.. Yeah!
