Chris Stapleton - Scarecrow in the Garden

Well, he came from Northern Ireland

Searching 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

That looks like Lucifer,

And I've been reading Revelations

With my bare feet in the river.

Well, the redhead's son got older

And took a brown-eyed wife,

And the fields were green as dollars

‘Cause 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

That looks like Lucifer,

And I've been reading Revelations

With my bare feet in the river.

I know every single fencepost,

Every rock that goes 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 about 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.
