scarlet begonias lyrics

As I was walkin down rubadub square
Not a chill to the window a litte to the air
From another direction she was calling my eye
It could be an illusion, but I might as well try I might as well try

She had rings on her fingers
And bells on her shoes
And I could tell 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

Well I ain't never been right as I ain't never been wrong
As everthing works out the way it does in this song
Cause once in a while 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 women took the lovin over me
And just to gain her trust I bought a microbus
Because I sold off my personal property

A tydyed dress she was a psychadelic mess
We toured to the north, south, east and west
We sold some mushroom tea
Sold some ectascy
Sold nitrus, opium, acid, herion and PCP
And now I hear the police coming after me
Now I hear the police coming after me
The one scarlet with the flowers in her hair
She's got the police coming after me

Well there ain't nothing wrong with the way she moves
All scarlet begoinas and a touch of the blues
And there ain't nothin wrong with the love that's in her eyes
I had to learn the hard way just to let her pass by
