Let's Burn Down The Cornfield

Let's burn down the cornfield
Let's burn down the cornfield
And we can listen to it burn


You hide behind the oak tree
You hide behind the old oak tree
Stay out of danger 'til I return


Oh, it's so good
On a cold night
To have a fire
Burnin' warm and bright


Let's burn down the cornfield
Let's burn down the cornfield
And I'll make love to you while it's burning 

From Randy Newman's second album, 12 Songs (1970).  Creepy and weird (but in a good way!).  Ry Cooder on slide guitar.  

And here is Etta James letting loose on it.
