Текст Nitty Gritty Dirt Band – Singing To The Scarecrow

Текст:

In a pair of faded coveralls and her mama’s old high heels
She wobbles up and takes a shaky bow
She smiles a little smile that hides her missing baby tooth
And she manages to sing that way somehow

She starts with «Delta Dawn»
Then 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 through the fields
With a kitten named Bojangles 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 into his patchwork eyes and looks into his heart
Then tries to find a song to ease his pain
Then she sings «Faded Love» until the sunny sky grows dark
And his tears are falling in the summer rain

And she’s singing to the scarecrow
Dancing through the fields
With a kitten named Bojangles 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

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 eyes

She’s still singing to the scarecrow
Trying to let the whole world know
How wonderful it feels
To be there on that south Kentucky farm
Singing to the Scarecrow
Singing to the scarecrow
Singing to the scarecrow
