Текст песни Scarecrow Blues (Brock Zeman) с переводом

A mean sun beating down on me day in and day out

I’m just a straw effigy of that I’ve got no doubt

A head full of hay and a tattered old robe

It sure ain’t no dancing down no yellow brick road

Someday soon when the field is all cleared

Down off this cross I’ll come till next year

My only company for miles wide and far

Is this dirty old black crow perched up here on my arm

I try and I try but if the damn thing don’t move

I’ll be out of a job this coming June

Sometimes in life you lace up your dancing shoe’s

Sometimes you just sway to the scarecrow blues

When my job here’s through I want those coal black crows carry me

Piece by piece and high above those old lonesome oak tree’s

Scatter my body around and let an autumn wind carry me to the ground

It’s straw to dirt and dirt to weeds and I’ll be back again you’ll see.

The farmer’s got a brand new shirt

And it’s the sharpest thing that I’ve ever seen

The old one is all covered in dirt

And it’s busting out at the seams

His old lady’s gonna stitch it up and stuff it full of straw

They’re gonna rip my insides out and scatter me around the stalls

Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose

Sometimes you just sway to the scarecrow blues

And how sweet a sound it is to hear them blades cutting them stalks at the

ground

I’m kinda sad to see them go when the wind gets tangled in them they make such

a sound

But they too must go just like the years there ain’t no use crying no salty

tears

You can try and hold on to something but there really ain’t no use

So hold your empty arms wide and sway to the scarecrow blues
