[Intro]
Em
[Verse 1]
Em Buddy I went down to Scarlet Town – Ain’t never been there before- A Em You slept on a feather bed and I slept on the floor-
[Verse 2]
Em Now I don’t mind a mean ole town and drinking my coffee cold - A Em But the things I seen in Scarlet Town did mortify my soul.
[Chorus]
Em A Em A LOOK AT THE DEEP WELL – LOOK AT THAT DARK GRAVE Em A Em A EM RINGING THAT IRON BELL – IN SCARLET TOWN TODAY
[Verse 3]
Em Now I sent some time in New Orleans and Cairo by the bend A Em But Scarlet Town brought me down – lower that I’ve ever been / [chorus]
[Verse 4]
Em On the day I came to Scarlet Town you promised I’d be your bride A Em Well you left me here to rot away – Like Polly on the mountainside. [chorus]
[Verse 5]
Em Now you may hide in Scarlet Town – for a hundred years or more A Em But the man who knows what time it is knocking at your door.
[Verse 6]
Em So fare thee well my own true love – if you ever see me around A Em I’ll be looking through a telescope from here to Scarlet Town. [chorus]
[Chorus]
Em A Em A LOOK AT THE DEEP WELL – LOOK AT THAT DARK GRAVE Em A Em A EM RINGING THAT IRON BELL – IN SCARLET TOWN TODAY
