And he came to bet his fortune

Am C

He built a house of timber

Am C

And raised a redhead son

Am C

Then they worked the land together

G Am

And prayed the rain would come

F C

There's a scarecrow in the garden

G Am

That looks like Lucifer

F Am

And I've been reading Revelations

G Am

With my bare feet in the dirt

Am C

Well the redhead's son got older

Am C

And took a brown eyed wife

Am C

And the fields were green as dollars

G Am

Cause the dirt was black as night

Am C

I came in late September

Am C

The youngest one of three

Am C

And my sisters off and married

G Am

So the land was left to me

There's a scarecrow in the garden

G

I know every single fencepost

F Am

Every rock that goes around

G

I've been staring at the red oak

F Am

Where I know they'll lay me down

[Verse]

Am C

The fields ain't what they once were

Am C

The rains just seem to flood

Am C

And I've been thinking about that river

G Am

Wondering how it turned to blood

+
[Outro]
x

Am C

I've been sitting here all morning

Am C

I was sitting here all night

Am C

There's a bible in my left hand

G Am

And a pistol in my right
