[Verse 1]
When I was back on the farm not so long ago
We couldn't get no corn, it all went to the crows
Now someone's stealing my sugar; I know what I'll do
I'll put a scarecrow up in your front yard
To keep the fellas away from you

[Fiddle Solo]

[Verse 2]
I don't want 'em around, not for one little peck
The way they hanging around is a pain in the neck
It's twice as painful when they're necking with you
I put a scarecrow up in your front yard
To keep the fellas away from you

[Piano Solo]

[Verse 3]
They're acting, oh, so nice and they think they're slick
But I don't want no crow playing 'round with my chick
It don't do no good for me to holler "boo"
I put a scarecrow up in your front yard
To keep the fellas away from you

[Slide Guitar Solo]
[Verse 4]
If they look real close, thеy can probably see
It ain't no scarecrow there, it's rеally me
I got a shotgun handy if they don't wanna shoo
I put a scarecrow up in your front yard
To keep the fellas away from you
