Lyrics

Steeleye Span sing Scarecrow

Scarecrow can you hear the wind blow?
Scarecrow can you feel the cold snow?
Can you see the young leaves dying?
Can you hear the old fox crying?
Can you see the swallows flying?
Scarecrow

Scarecrow did you hear the wind blow?
Scarecrow did you feel the cold snow?
Did you see the young men dying?
Did you hear the old men crying?
Did you see the bullets flying?
Scarecrow

Chorus:
Hail rain, wind and snow
Do not scare the old Scarecrow
He was standing there long ago
Scarecrow

Scarecrow can you hear the wind blow?
Scarecrow can you feel the cold snow?
Can you see the young men dying?
Can you hear the old men lying?
Can you see the missiles flying?
Scarecrow
