[Verse 1]
A farmer took his old overalls
A plaid green shirt and he stuffed them with straw
Put a sweat-stained 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
That's 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
That's the life of an old scarеcrow
[Bridge]
But when the cold wind blows, they'll takе me down
And put me up in that old barn
Through cracks and holes, I'll 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 sweat-stained work hat on my head
Handed me a hayfork, now here I stand
