0:20Not a chill to the weather but a nip to the air
0:25From another direction she was callin' my eye
0:30It could be an illusion but I might as well try might as well try
0:44She had rings on her fingers and bells on her shoes
0:49And I knew without askin' she was into the blues
0:54She wore Scarlet Begonias tucked into her curls
1:00I knew right away she was not like other girls
1:14Well I ain't never been right as I ain't never been wrong
1:16Cause heaven works out the way it does in this song
1:24Cause once in a while you get shown-a the light
1:26In the strangest of places if you look at it right
1:53It was a summer of love and I thank the stars above
1:56Because the woman took a loving over me
1:58And just to gain her trust I bought a Microbus
2:00Because I sold off all my personal property
2:03A tight Tie-Dye dress she was a Psychadelic mess
2:06We toured to the North South East and West
2:08We sold some Mushroom Tea we sold some e*****y
2:10We sold Nitrous o***m Acid h****n and PCP
2:13And now I hear the police coming after me
2:15Yes now I hear the police coming after meee
2:18The one scarlet with the flowers in her head
2:20She's got the po-lice co-ming after me
2:23Well there ain't nothin wrong with the way she moves
2:28Oh Scarlet Begonias and a touch of the blues
2:33And there ain't nothing wrong with the love that's in her eye
2:38I had to learn the hard way just to let her pass by let her pass by
2:46Oh just let her pass by
Not a chill to the weather but a nip to the air From another direction she was callin' 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 askin' she was into the blues She wore Scarlet Begonias tucked into her curls I knew right away she was not like other girls Well I ain't never been right as I ain't never been wrong Cause heaven works out the way it does in this song Cause once in a while you get shown-a the light In the strangest of places if you look at it right It was a summer of love and I thank the stars above Because the woman took a loving over me And just to gain her trust I bought a Microbus Because I sold off all my personal property A tight Tie-Dye dress she was a Psychadelic mess We toured to the North South East and West We sold some Mushroom Tea we sold some e*****y We sold Nitrous o***m Acid h****n and PCP And now I hear the police coming after me Yes now I hear the police coming after meee The one scarlet with the flowers in her head She's got the po-lice co-ming after me Well there ain't nothin wrong with the way she moves Oh Scarlet Begonias and a touch of the blues And there ain't nothing wrong with the love that's in her eye I had to learn the hard way just to let her pass by let her pass by Oh just let her pass by
