Scarecrow In The Garden
Matthew Fleener, William Brice Long, Chris Stapleton
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 dirt
Well the redhead 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 dirt
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 turned 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
Well he came from Northern Ireland
Nun, er kam aus Nordirland
Searching for the free man's ground
Auf der Suche nach dem freien Mannes Land
And he came to bet his fortune
Und er kam, um sein Vermögen zu wetten
On a West Virginia plow
Auf einen Pflug in West Virginia
He built a house of timber
Er baute ein Haus aus Holz
And raised a redhead son
Und zog einen rothaarigen Sohn groß
Then they worked the land together
Dann bearbeiteten sie zusammen das Land
And prayed the rain would come
Und beteten, dass der Regen kommen würde
There's a scarecrow in the garden
Da ist eine Vogelscheuche im Garten
That looks like Lucifer
Die sieht aus wie Luzifer
And I've been reading Revelations
Und ich habe die Offenbarung gelesen
With my bare feet in the dirt
Mit meinen nackten Füßen im Schmutz
Well the redhead son got older
Nun, der rothaarige Sohn wurde älter
And took a brown eyed wife
Und nahm eine braunäugige Frau
And the fields were green as dollars
Und die Felder waren grün wie Dollars
Cause the dirt was black as night
Denn der Schmutz war schwarz wie die Nacht
I came in late September
Ich kam Ende September
The youngest one of three
Der jüngste von dreien
And my sisters off and married
Und meine Schwestern sind verheiratet und weg
So the land was left to me
So wurde das Land mir überlassen
There's a scarecrow in the garden
Da ist eine Vogelscheuche im Garten
That looks like Lucifer
Die sieht aus wie Luzifer
And I've been reading Revelations
Und ich habe die Offenbarung gelesen
With my bare feet in the dirt
Mit meinen nackten Füßen im Schmutz
I know every single fencepost
Ich kenne jeden einzelnen Zaunpfosten
Every rock that goes around
Jeden Stein, der herumgeht
I've been staring at the red oak
Ich habe die rote Eiche angestarrt
Where I know they'll lay me down
Wo ich weiß, dass sie mich hinlegen werden
The fields ain't what they once were
Die Felder sind nicht mehr das, was sie einmal waren
The rains just seem to flood
Der Regen scheint nur zu überfluten
And I've been thinking about that river
Und ich habe über diesen Fluss nachgedacht
Wondering how it turned to blood
Fragend, wie er zu Blut wurde
I've been sitting here all morning
Ich habe hier den ganzen Morgen gesessen
I was sitting here all night
Ich habe hier die ganze Nacht gesessen
There's a bible in my left hand
Es gibt eine Bibel in meiner linken Hand
And a pistol in my right

There's a scarecrow in the garden
Há um espantalho no jardim
That looks like Lucifer
Que se parece com Lúcifer

With my bare feet in the dirt

Well the redhead son got older
Bem, o filho ruivo ficou mais velho

Where I know they'll lay me down
Onde eu sei que eles vão me deitar
The fields ain't what they once were
Os campos não são mais o que eram
The rains just seem to flood
As chuvas parecem apenas inundar
And I've been thinking about that river
E eu tenho pensado naquele rio
Wondering how it turned to blood
Perguntando como ele se transformou em sangue
