lyrics

Scarecrow Joe was a kind gentle soul

Out in the cornfield high on a pole

That’s all he’d known since the day he was born

Stuck up on a pole looking down at the corn

The crows were aware he was just full of straw

Perched on his shoulder they’s giggle and caw

They posed for pictures on top of his hat

But Joe wasn’t really too bothered by that

Most of the time he was all on his own

Out in the cornfield completely alone

He couldn’t climb down and go walk around

He wondered could happiness ever be found?

Stuck up on a pole all night and all day

If anyone visits gotta scare them away

Tormented and laughed at by crows and squirrels

Seemed like he loneliest job in the world.

Farmer Jane wondered while picking the corn

Why is our scarecrow so sad and forlorn?

Something occurred to her right there and then

Perhaps Scarecrow Joe just needs a friend

So she sewed up an outfit and stuffed it with straw

The loveliest scarecrow you ever saw

She called her Sue Ellen set her right next to Joe

Poor sad lonely Joe

When Joe spotted Sue Ellen the world tuned bright

The feeling was mutual - love at first sight

No longer lonely his dream had come true

He said to Sue Ellen I’m sticking with you.

Sunrise filled the skies with warm golden light

They counted the stars in the cool autumn night
