Singin' to the Scarecrow

(Dennis Linde)

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!
