[00:13.58]Buddy, I went down to Scarlet Town, ain’t never been there before
[00:19.25]Where you slept on a feather bed, Islept on the floor
[00:25.34]I don’t mind a lean old time or drinking my coffee cold
[00:30.80]But the things I seen in Scarlet Town did mortify my soul
[00:36.79]I look at that deep well
[00:39.82]Look at that dark grave
[00:42.88]Ringing that iron bell
[00:45.75]In Scarlet Town today
[00:59.82]I spent some time in New Orleans and in Cairo on a bend
[01:05.41]But Scarlet Town brought me down low as I ever been
[01:11.12]I look at that deep well
[01:14.79]Look at that dark grave
[01:17.47]Ringing that iron bell
[01:20.25]In Scarlet Town today
[01:24.19]
[01:46.04]On the day I came to Scarlet Town, you promised I’d be your bride
[01:51.71]But you left me here to rot away like Polly on the mountainside
[01:57.55]I look at that deep well
[02:00.70]Look at that dark ray
[02:03.68]Ringing that iron bell
[02:06.46]In Scarlet Town today
[02:09.90]
[02:32.48]Now you may hide in Scarlet Town for a hundred years or more
[02:38.25]But the man who knows what time it is is knocking at the door
[02:44.08]So fare you well, my own true love
[02:47.22]If you never see me around
[02:50.05]I’ll be looking through a telescope from hell to Scarlet Town
[02:55.96]I look at that deep well
[02:59.01]Look at that dark ray
[03:02.25]Ringing that iron bell
[03:04.95]In Scarlet Town today
