[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
