Rhyme Scheme: AABCCB DDBEEB FFGHHG IIJKLJ MMNOPN QQRSS TTDUUD| More than cakes or anything | A |
| I like tales of shivering | A |
| Once a scarecrow on a hill | B |
| Tossed his ragged arms at me | C |
| That was when I went to see | C |
| Folks that live at Fisherville | B |
| - | |
| And my father said 'You know | D |
| When it's dark that old scarecrow | D |
| Gets down rags and sticks and all | B |
| And like some old tramp he goes | E |
| Straw wisps sticking from his toes | E |
| Down the road right past this wall | B |
| - | |
| 'Wobble legged and loose of arm | F |
| Slow he shambles by the farm | F |
| And if children are not good | G |
| Snug in bed at eight o'clock | H |
| On the window he will knock | H |
| With long knuckled hands of wood | G |
| - | |
| 'Then his empty face pressed flat | I |
| To the pane his tattered hat | I |
| Flopping in the wind he'll shake | J |
| His gaunt finger at them and | K |
| Threaten them with head and hand | L |
| And with teeth too like a rake | J |
| - | |
| 'Then into the night he'll pack | M |
| There to meet with bogie Jack | M |
| Jack o' Lantern and the two | N |
| Arm in arm will wander on | O |
| Scaring folks until it's dawn | P |
| As all goblin people do | N |
| - | |
| 'You may see them through the pane | Q |
| Passing in the night and rain | Q |
| When you hear the watch dogs bark | R |
| Then along the weedy side | S |
| Of some garden dim they glide | S |
| Where they grab you in the dark ' | - |
| - | |
| Sometime when I can for fun | T |
| I am going to take my gun | T |
| Creep up on that hill and blow | D |
| That old scarecrow into bits | U |
| Then he can't scare into fits | U |
| Any children more I know | D |
