Songtekst:

The black and green scarecrow
as ev’ryone knows
stood with a bird on his hat and straw ev’rywhere
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 was 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
