[English]

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

...

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

...

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

...
