(Dennis Linde) 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 some how Why she starts with "Delta Dawn" And 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 singin' to the scarecrow Dancin' through the fields With a kitten named Bojangles in her arms Tryin' to let the whole world know how wonderful it feels To be here on this South Kentucky farm Singin' to the scarecrow She looks into his patchwork eyes And looks into his heart And tries to find a song to ease his pain And she sings "Faded Love" until the sunny sky grows dark And his tears are falling in the summer rain And she's singin' to the scarecrow Dancing through the fields With a kitten named Bojangles in her arms Tryin' to let the whole world know how wonderful it feels To be here on this South Kentucky farm Singing to the scarecrow Well 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 Yeah she's still singin' to the scarecrow Tryin' to let the whole world know how wonderful it feels To be here on this South Kentucky farm Singing to the scarecrow Singing to the scarecrow Hey.. Yeah!
