Scarlet Begonias

歌詞

As I was walking down rubadub square Not a chill to the window a little to the air From another direction she was caught in my eye It could be an illusion but I might as well try might as well try She had rings on her fingers and bells on her shoes And I could tell without asking she was into the blues She wore scarlet begonias tucked into her curls I knew right away she was not like other girls like other girls Well I ain't never been right as I ain't never been wrong As everything works out the way it does in this song Cause once in a while you get shown in the light In the strangest of places if you look at it right Well It was the summer of love and I thank the stars above Because the women took the loving over me And just to gain her trust I bought a microbus Because I sold off my personal property A tie-dyed dress she was a psychedelic mess We toured to the north south east and west We sold some mushroom tea We sold some ecstasy Sold nitrus opium acid heroing and PCP Now I hear the police coming after me Now I hear the police coming after me The one scarlet with the flowers in her hair She's got the police coming after me Well there ain't nothing wrong with the way she moves All scarlet begonias and a touch of the blues And there ain't nothin wrong with the love that's in her eyes I had to learn the hard way just to let her pass by that let her pass by just to let her pass by
