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 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
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

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band Singing To The Scarecrow Comments
@Britgurl2088 Hey there Brainiac, Dennis Linde wrote the song and The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band released it in 1992 compared to Sherrie Austin's 2003. So do your research before making retarded comments.
Thanks alot. I have been their fan since '69.Saw them here in Winnipeg.I had a dream fulfilled that night, I met them backstage. What a great bunch of guys. I'm going to cover some of their song from their new album released in Sept.
Nice easy-listening feel to your singing. Great job!
