Scarecrow In The Garden
Matthew Fleener, William Brice Long, Chris Stapleton
Well he came from Northern Ireland
Searching for the free man's ground
And he came to bet his fortune
On a West Virginia plow
He built a house of timber
And raised a redhead son
Then they worked the land together
And prayed the rain would come
There's a scarecrow in the garden
That looks like Lucifer
And I've been reading Revelations
With my bare feet in the dirt
Well the redhead son got older
And took a brown eyed wife
And the fields were green as dollars
Cause the dirt was black as night
I came in late September
The youngest one of three
And my sisters off and married
So the land was left to me
There's a scarecrow in the garden
That looks like Lucifer
And I've been reading Revelations
With my bare feet in the dirt
I know every single fencepost
Every rock that goes around
I've been staring at the red oak
Where I know they'll lay me down
The fields ain't what they once were
The rains just seem to flood
And I've been thinking about that river
Wondering how it turned to blood
I've been sitting here all morning
I was sitting here all night
There's a bible in my left hand
And a pistol in my right
Well he came from Northern Ireland
Ebbene, lui veniva dall'Irlanda del Nord
Searching for the free man's ground
Cercando la terra dell'uomo libero
And he came to bet his fortune
E venne per scommettere la sua fortuna
On a West Virginia plow
Su un aratro della Virginia Occidentale
He built a house of timber
Costruì una casa di legno
And raised a redhead son
E allevò un figlio dai capelli rossi
Then they worked the land together
Poi lavorarono insieme la terra
And prayed the rain would come
E pregarono che venisse la pioggia
There's a scarecrow in the garden
C'è uno spaventapasseri nel giardino
That looks like Lucifer
Che assomiglia a Lucifero
And I've been reading Revelations
E ho letto l'Apocalisse
With my bare feet in the dirt
Con i piedi nudi nella terra
Well the redhead son got older
Ebbene, il figlio dai capelli rossi è cresciuto
And took a brown eyed wife
E ha preso una moglie dagli occhi marroni
And the fields were green as dollars
E i campi erano verdi come dollari
Cause the dirt was black as night
Perché la terra era nera come la notte
I came in late September
Sono arrivato a fine settembre
The youngest one of three
Il più giovane di tre
And my sisters off and married
E mia sorella è andata e si è sposata
So the land was left to me
Quindi la terra è stata lasciata a me
There's a scarecrow in the garden
C'è uno spaventapasseri nel giardino
That looks like Lucifer
Che assomiglia a Lucifero
And I've been reading Revelations
E ho letto l'Apocalisse
With my bare feet in the dirt
Con i piedi nudi nella terra
I know every single fencepost
Conosco ogni singolo palo della recinzione
Every rock that goes around
Ogni roccia che va in giro
I've been staring at the red oak
Ho fissato la quercia rossa
Where I know they'll lay me down
Dove so che mi stenderanno
The fields ain't what they once were
I campi non sono più quello che erano
The rains just seem to flood
Le piogge sembrano solo allagare
And I've been thinking about that river
E ho pensato a quel fiume
Wondering how it turned to blood
Chiedendomi come sia diventato sangue
I've been sitting here all morning
Sono stato seduto qui tutta la mattina
I was sitting here all night
Sono stato seduto qui tutta la notte
There's a bible in my left hand
C'è una bibbia nella mia mano sinistra
And a pistol in my right
E una pistola nella mia destra
Well he came from Northern Ireland
Bem, ele veio da Irlanda do Norte
Searching for the free man's ground
Procurando pela terra do homem livre
And he came to bet his fortune
E ele veio para apostar sua fortuna
On a West Virginia plow
Em um arado da Virgínia Ocidental
He built a house of timber
Ele construiu uma casa de madeira
And raised a redhead son
E criou um filho ruivo
Then they worked the land together
Então eles trabalharam a terra juntos
And prayed the rain would come
E rezaram para que a chuva viesse
There's a scarecrow in the garden
Há um espantalho no jardim
That looks like Lucifer
Que se parece com Lúcifer
And I've been reading Revelations
E eu tenho lido Revelações
With my bare feet in the dirt
Com meus pés descalços na terra
Well the redhead son got older
Bem, o filho ruivo ficou mais velho
And took a brown eyed wife
E pegou uma esposa de olhos castanhos
And the fields were green as dollars
E os campos eram verdes como dólares
Cause the dirt was black as night
Porque a terra era negra como a noite
I came in late September
Eu cheguei no final de setembro
The youngest one of three
O mais novo de três
And my sisters off and married
E minha irmã se casou e foi embora
So the land was left to me
Então a terra ficou para mim

Every rock that goes around
Cada pedra que vai ao redor
I've been staring at the red oak
Eu tenho olhado para o carvalho vermelho
Where I know they'll lay me down
Onde eu sei que eles vão me deitar
The fields ain't what they once were
Os campos não são mais o que eram
The rains just seem to flood
As chuvas parecem apenas inundar
And I've been thinking about that river
E eu tenho pensado naquele rio
Wondering how it turned to blood
Perguntando como ele se transformou em sangue
I've been sitting here all morning
Eu estive sentado aqui toda a manhã
I was sitting here all night
Eu estive sentado aqui a noite toda
There's a bible in my left hand
