歌曲歌詞
In Scarlet Townwhere I was born
There’s ivy leaf and silver thorn
The streets have names that you can’t pronounce
Gold is down to a quarter of an ounce
The music starts and the people sway
Everybody says
Are you going my way
Uncle Tom still workin’ for Uncle Bill
Scarlet Town is under the hill
Scarlet Town in the month of May
Sweet William Holme on his deathbed lay
Mistress Mary by the side of the bed
Kissin’ his face and heapin’ prayers on his head
So braveso trueso gentle is he
I’ll weep for him as he would weep for me
Little Boy Blue come your blow horn
In Scarlet Townwhere I was born
Scarlet Townin the hot noon hours
There’s palm-leaf shadows and scattered flowers
Beggars crouching at the gate
Help comesbut it comes too late
By marble slabs and in fields of stone
You make your humble wishes known
I touched the garmentbut the hem was torn
In Scarlet Townwhere I was born
In Scarlet Townthe end is near
The Seven Wonders of the World are here
The evil and the good livin’ side by side
All human forms seem glorified
Put your heart on a platter and see who will bite
See who will hold you and kiss you good night
There’s walnut groves and maplewood
In Scarlet Town cryin’ won’t do no good
In Scarlet Town
You fight your father’s foes
Up on the hill
A chilly wind blows
You fight ’em on high and you fight ’em down in
You fight ’em with whiskey
Morphine and gin
You’ve got legs that can drive men mad
A lot of things we didn’t do that I wish we had
In Scarlet Town
The sky is clear
You’ll wish to God that you stayed right here
Set ’em Joe
Play Walkin’ the Floor
Play it for my flat-chested junkie whore
I’m staying up late
I’m making amends
While we smile
All heaven descends
If love is a sin
Then beauty is a crime
All things are beautiful in their time
The black and the white
The yellow and the brown
It’s all right there in front of you in Scarlet Town
