Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The black and green scarecrow as everyone knows
Stood with a bird on his hat and straw everywhere
He didn't care
He stood in a field where barley grows
[Verse 2]
His head did no thinking, his arms didn't move
Except when the wind cut up rough
And mice ran around on the ground
He stood in a field where barley grows
[Verse 3]
The black and green scarecrow is sadder than me
But now he's resigned to his fate
'Cause life's not unkind, he doesn't mind
He stood in a field where barley grows
Written by: Syd Barrett
