Scarecrow Dance
Denny Carr / Larry Haack


Near a little old farming town
A farmer and his daughter
Worked a parched field

In the hot summer sun
As he cursed the dry weather
And the passing of his wife

His daughter said daddy
Now don't worry none.
Mamma taught me a song

Last night in a dream
She said if I sing it
And only believe

When that scarecrow starts dancing
God will make it rain
So she sat in that field for two weeks straight


Singing dance scarecrow dance
This town's all but dried up

Better get moving
Let's scare up some clouds
Won't you kick up a storm

If there's any magic in you
Oh Dance scarecrow dance
Make the rain come down


Her daddy said this ain't right
The town folk are talking

I'm gonna burn that scarecrow
Down to the ground
As they both stood there watching

The flames grew higher
The wind started blowing
And the sky filled with clouds

Then it came down in buckets
And the fire died away
As that scarecrow danced

To mother natures ballet
That field turned to mud
And her daddy broke down

Put an end to disbelieving
And six months of drought



Singing dance scarecrow dance
This town's all but dried up

Better get moving
Let's scare up some clouds
Won't you kick up a storm

If there's any magic in you
Dance scarecrow dance
Make the rain come down?Yeah



(Instrumental Break)


Oh dance scarecrow dance
This town's all but dried up

Better get moving
Let's scare up some clouds
Won't you kick up a storm

If there's any magic in you
Oh Dance scarecrow dance
Make the rain come down?Yeah

Make the rain come down
