Bertrand et moi dansons pieds nus sur la même longueur d'onde (Celle de Radio Ethiopie sans doute), mais je sens que je vais devoir sortir un indice plus basique.

Scarecrow on a wooden cross, blackbird in the barn Four hundred empty acres that used to be my farm I grew up like my daddy did, my grandpa cleared this land When I was five, I walked a fence while grandpa held my hand
Refrain The crops we grew last summer weren’t enough to pay the loans Couldn’t buy the seed to plant this spring and the farmers bank foreclosed Called my old friend Schepman up to auction off the land He said, “John, it’s just my job and I hope you understand” Hey, calling it your job, ol’ hoss, sure don’t make it right But if you want me to I’ll say a prayer for your soul tonight And grandma’s on the front porch swing with a Bible in her hand Sometimes I hear her singing, “Take me to the promised land” When you take away a man’s dignity he can’t work his fields and cows There’ll be blood on the scarecrow, blood on the plow Blood on the scarecrow, blood on the plow Well there’s ninety-seven crosses planted in the courthouse yard And ninety-seven families who lost ninety-seven farms I think about my grandpa, my neighbors and my name And some nights I feel like dyin’ like that scarecrow in the rain Refrain
