Scarlet Town
Buddy I went down to Scarlet TownNever been there beforeWell you slept on a feather bedI slept on the floorI don't mind a little townOr drinking my coffee coldBut the things I seen in Scarlet TownDid mortify my soulLook at that deep wellLook at that dark rayRinging that iron bellIn Scarlet Town todayI spent some time in New OrleansAnd ?A Scarlet Town brought me downLow as I ever beenLook at that deep wellLook at that dark rayRinging that iron bellIn Scarlet Town todayOn the day I came to Scarlet TownLetras de cancionesYou promised I'd be your brideYou left me here to rot awayLike holly on a mountainsideLook at that deep wellLook at that dark rayRinging that iron bellIn Scarlet Town todayNow you may hide in Scarlet TownFor a hundred years or moreBut the man who knows what time it isIs knocking at the doorSo fare you well, my own true loveIf you ever see me aroundI'll be looking through a telescopeFrom hell to Scarlet TownLook at that deep wellLook at that dark rayRinging that iron bellIn Scarlet Town today
