Scarlet Town |
| Buddy I went down to Scarlet Town |
| Never been there before |
| You slept on a feather bed |
| I slept on the floor |
| I don’t mind a lean old time |
| Or drinking my coffee cold |
| But the things I seen in Scarlet Town |
| Did mortify my soul |
| Look at that deep well |
| Look at that dark grave |
| Ringing that iron bell |
| In Scarlet Town today |
| I spent some time in New Orleans |
| And came along a bend |
| But Scarlet Town brought me down |
| Low as I ever been |
| Look at that deep well |
| Look at that dark grave |
| Ringing that iron bell |
| In Scarlet Town today |
| On the day I came to Scarlet Town |
| You promised I’d be your bride |
| You left me here to rot away |
| Like holly on a mountainside |
| Look at that deep well |
| Look at that dark ray |
| Ringing that iron bell |
| In Scarlet Town today |
| Now you may hide in Scarlet Town |
| For a hundred years or more |
| But the man who knows what time it is |
| Is knocking at the door |
| So fare you well, my own true love |
| If you never see me around |
| I’ll be looking through a telescope |
| From hell to Scarlet Town |
| Look at that deep well |
| Look at that dark ray |
| Ringing that iron bell |
| In Scarlet Town today |
