Scarlet Begonias

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
