as i was walkin' down rubadub square <br>not a chill to the winter but a nip to the air <br>from another direction she was caught in my eye <br>it could be an illusion but i might as well try <br>might as well try <br>she had rings on her fingers and bells on her shoes <br>and i knew without asking - she was into the blues <br>she wore scarlet begonias tucked into her curls <br>i knew right away she was not like other girls <br>like other girls <br> <br>well i ain't never been right as i ain't never been wrong <br>as heaven works out the way it does in this song (hey) <br>'cuz once in awhile you get shown in the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right <br> <br>it was the summer of love and i thank the stars above <br>because the woman took a lovin' over me <br>and just to gain her trust i bought a microbus <br>because i sold off all my personal property <br> <br>a tight tye-dye dress she was a psychadelic mess <br>we toured to the north, south, east, and west <br>we sold some mushroom tea we sold some extacy we sold nitrous, opium, acid, heroin, and pcp <br> <br>and now i hear the police comin' after me <br>yes now i hear the police comin' after me <br>the one scarlet with the flowers in her hair she's got the police comin' after me <br> <br>but there ain't nothin' wrong with the way she moves <br>all scarlet begonias and a touch of the blues <br>and there ain't nothin' wrong with the love that's in her eye <br>i had to learn the hard way just to let her pass by <br>let it pass by <br>oh just let her pass by
