Lyric Scarlet Begonias

As I was walkin down rubadub square
Not a chill to the window but a little to the air
From another direction she was calling 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 knew 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

It was the summer of love and I thank the stars above
Because the women took a lovin over me
And just to gain her trust, I bought a microbus
Because I sold off all my personal property

A tie-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,
We sold nitrous, opium, acid, heroin and PCP
And now I hear the police coming after me
Yes 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... let her pass by.
