Buddy I went down to Scarlet Town Ain't never been there before You slept on a featherbed And I slept on the floor Buddy I don't mind a mean ol' time Oh drinkin' my coffee cold But the things I've seen in Scarlet Town Did mortify my soul I look at that deep well I look at that dark grave Ringin' that iron bell In Scarlet Town today Spent some time in New Orleans Carol on a Ben Scarlet Town brought me down As low as I ever been I look at that deep well I look at that dark grave Ringin' that iron bell In Scarlet Town today I went down to Scarlet Town You promised you'd be my bride SongtexteThen you left me here to rot away Like a poly on a mountain side I look at that deep well I look at that dark grave Ringin' that iron bell In Scarlet Town today Buddy you can hide in Scarlet Town For a hundred years or more But the man who knows what time it is Is knockin' at the door So fare thee well my own true love If you ever see me around I'll be lookin' through a telescope From Hell to Scarlet Town I look at that deep well I look at that dark grave Ringin' that iron bell In Scarlet Town today I look at that deep well (look at that deep well) Look at that dark grave (I look at that dark grave) Ringin' that iron bell In Scarlet Town today Aus Songtexte Mania
