Scarlet Town – Gillian WelchBy Buddy I went down to Scarlet TownNever been there beforeYou slept on a feather bedI slept on the floorI don’t mind a lean old timeOr drinking my coffee coldBut the things I seen in Scarlet TownDid mortify my soulLook at that deep wellLook at that dark graveRinging that iron bellIn Scarlet Town todayI spent some time in New OrleansAnd came along a bendBut Scarlet Town brought me downLow as I ever beenLook at that deep wellLook at that dark graveRinging that iron bellIn Scarlet Town todayOn the day I came to Scarlet TownYou 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 never 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 www.pillowlyrics.com419786497975 88k 20
