Текст Chris Stapleton – Scarecrow In The Garden

Well he came from Northern Ireland
Searching for the free man’s ground
And he came to bet his fortune
On a West Virginia plow

There’s a scarecrow in the garden
That looks like Lucifer
And I’ve been reading Revelations
With my bare feet in the dirt

Well the redhead son got older
And took a brown eyed wife
And the fields were green as dollars
Cause the dirt was black as night
I came in late September
The youngest one of three
And my sisters off and married
So the land was left to me

There’s a scarecrow in the garden
That looks like Lucifer
And I’ve been reading Revelations
With my bare feet in the dirt

I know every single fence post
Every rock to go around
I’ve been staring at the red oak
Where I know they’ll lay me down

The fields ain’t what they once were
The rains just seem to flood

I’ve been sitting here all morning
I was sitting here all night
There’s a bible in my left hand
And a pistol in my right
