the pine box boys - an unkindness lyrics

[verse 1]
(one, two, three, four)
farmer’s cranky, farmer’s tired, hung that scarecrow on the wire, said
buddy, give you one more chance to do your little dance
you got my favorite hat and you got my favorite britches
and them shoes i’d still be wearing if the bottoms weren’t so worn
i got to go to town ’cause i got a bill to pay
and i expect that while i’m gone you’ll keep the crows out of my corn

[chorus]
singing, hey, crow
a murder comes and goes! hah!
crack that stick and jangle wire, hang me up a little higher
if they eat another ear of corn, i’ll throw you in the fire

[verse 2]
well, the scarecrow got to thinking, you know, i’m doing all the work here
i ain’t scaring no more crows, and h-ll, that farmer is a jerk!
here’ come another murder and they’re looking mighty pitiful
i don’t hold a thing against them, let them eat the farmer’s corn
but i don’t want to burn, so i’ll make a little bargain:
just leave him some to harvest and the rest of it is yours

[chorus]
singing, hey, crow
a murder comes and goes! hah!
crack that stick and jangle wire, hang me up a little higher
if they eat another ear of corn, i’ll throw you in the fire

[verse 3]
well, the crows were taking all this in, some were frowning, some a-grinning
from the greatest to the leastest, they descended on this feast
they ate up all the yellow corn and they ate up all the green
the scarecrow could do nothing, but all them crows would laugh
before the bank took the farm, the farmer set a little fire
the air was clouded thick with the ashes and the chaff

[chorus]
singing, hey, crow
a murder comes and goes! hah!
crack that stick and jangle wire, hang me up a little higher
if they eat another ear of corn, i’ll throw you in the fire
singing, hey, crow
