Karaoké Scarecrow in the Garden Chris Stapleton

Well they came from Northern Ireland

Searchin' for the free man's ground

And he came to bet his fortune on a West Virginia plow

He built a house of timber and raised a redhead son

Then they worked the land together

And prayed the rain would come

There's a scarecrow in the garden it looks like Lucifer

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 'cos 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 it looks like Lucifer

I've been reading

Revelations with my bare feet in the dirt

I know every single fencepost 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

And I've been thinking 'bout that river

Wondering how it turns to blood

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
