Near a little ol' farmin' town A farmer and his daughter Worked a parched field In the hot summer sun As he cursed the dry weather And the passin' of his wife His daughter said, 'Daddy, now don't worry none
Pre Chorus
Mama taught me a song Last night in a dream She said if I sing it And only believe When that scarecrow starts dancin' God'll make it rain So she sat in that field For two weeks straight'
[:: CHORUS ::]
(Singin') dance scarecrow dance This town's all but dried up Better get movin' Let's scare up some clouds Won't you kick up a storm And send your magic in you Oh, dance scarecrow dance Make the rain come down (yeah) (Make the rain come down)
2nd Verse
Her daddy said, 'This ain't right The townfolk are talkin' I'm gonna burn that scarecrow Down to the ground As they both stood there watchin' The flames grew higher The wind started blowin' And the sky filled with clouds
Pre Chorus
And it came down in buckets And the fire died away As that scarecrow danced To Mother Nature's ballet And that field turned alive And her daddy broke down Put an end to disbelievin' And six months of drought
