The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Singing To The Scarecrow lyrics

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
