Verse 1:
   A minorAm
Well he came from Northern Ireland
     C majorC
Searching for the free man's ground
      A minorAm
And he came to bet his fortune
       C majorC
On a West Virginia plow
        A minorAm
He built a house of timber
         G+G
And raised a redhead son
          A minorAm
Then they worked the land together

And prayed the rain would come

Chorus:

There's a scarecrow in the garden

That looks like Lucifer

And I've been reading Revelations

With my bare feet in the dirt


Verse 2:

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


Chorus:

There's a scarecrow in the garden

That looks like Lucifer

And I've been reading Revelations

With my bare feet in the dirt


Bridge:

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


Verse 3:

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 turned to blood


Outro:

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
