Lyrics

As I walked out one summer's morn Saw a scarecrow tied to a pole In a field full of corn His coat was black and his head was bare When the wind blew him, the crows took up Into the air Ah, but you'd lay me down and love me Ah, but you'd lay me down and love me If you could But you're only a bag of rags In an overall And the wind blows And the crows fly away And the corn grows tall As I walked out one winter's day Saw an old man hanging from a pole In a field full of clay His coat was gone and his head hung low 'Til the wind flung it up and wrung his neck And let it go How could you lay me down and love me? How could you lay me down and love me now? For you're only a bag of bones In an overall And the wind roars And the kids throw stones At the thing on the pole As I walked out one fine spring day Saw twelve jolly Dons decked out in the blue And gold so gay And to a stake they tied a child newborn And the bells rang, and they sung their songs And they sold their corn Now you can lay me down and love me Now you can lay me down and love me If you will But you're only a bag of rags In an overall And the wind blows And the crows fly away And the corn grows tall As I walked out one summer's morn Saw a scarecrow tied to a pole In a field full of corn
