Scarlet Begonias

as i was walkin' down rubadub square not a chill to the winter but a nip to the air from another direction she was caught in 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 heaven works out the way it does in this song (hey) 'cuz once in awhile 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 woman took a lovin' over me and just to gain her trust i bought a microbus because i sold off all my personal property a tight tye-dye dress she was a psychadelic mess we toured to the north, south, east, and west we sold some mushroom tea we sold some extacy we sold nitrous, opium, acid, heroin, and pcp and now i hear the police comin' after me yes now i hear the police comin' after me the one scarlet with the flowers in her hair she's got the police comin' after me but there ain't nothin' 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 eye i had to learn the hard way just to let her pass by let it pass by oh just let her pass by
