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.
