The black and green scarecrow
As everyone knows
Stood with a bird on his hat
And straw everywhere
He didn't care
He stood in a field where barley grows

His head did no thinking
His arms didn't move
Except when the wind cut up rough
And mice ran around on the ground
He stood in a field where barley grows

The black and green scarecrow is sadder than me
But now he's resigned to his fate
'Cause life's not unkind
He doesn't mind
He stood in a field where barley grows
