Oh scarecrow wherever you go

You’re only bringing sorrow

Oh scarecrow wherever you go

You’re only bringing sorrow

Sorrow for the ones you left behind {ah-ah}

Sorrow for the ones who go

Sorrow for the ones who change their mind

’cause they’ll never know

No, they’ll never know

You start out wanting life

But you get hurried

You start out wanting love

But you get worried

Oh scarecrow wherever you go

You’re only bringing sorrow

Oh scarecrow wherever you go

You’re only bringing sorrow

Sorrow for the ones who steal the sun {ah-ah}

Sorrow for the ones who go

Sorrow for the flowers in the guns

’cause they’ll never know

No, they’ll never know

Mmm, at waters edge a drunken horse

How sad and strange to watch him waiting

We’re watching from a high wire

Birds watching from a high wire

We’re watching you {watching you}

We’re watching you

You start out wanting life

But you get hurried

You start out wanting love

But you get worried

Oh scarecrow wherever you go

You’re only bringing sorrow

Oh, yeah, yeah, scarecrow

{bah, bup-ba-ba-bah, bup-ba-ba-bah,etc.}

Oh-yeah-oh...

Oh scarecrow wherever you go

You’re only bringing sorrow

{bah, bup-ba-ba-bah, bup-ba-ba-bah,etc.}
