I saw a strawman
Standin' out in the field.
I saw a strawman
Standin' out in the field.
All around him's burnin',
But he refuse to yield.
I saw a strawman,
And he's callin' out my name.
I saw a strawman,
And he's callin' out my name.
All around him's burnin',
And he thinks that I'm to blame.
I saw a strawman.
Now he's comin' up to me
I saw a strawman..
Now he's comin'straight up to me.
I was shakin' in my shoes,
Just as scared as I can be.
I saw a strawman
Lighin' up the night sky.
I saw a strawman
Lighin' up the night sky.
He's a burnin', burnin', burnin',
But he refuse to die.
