Lirik Bob Dylan Scarlet Town
- 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 puttin' prayers on his head
- so brave and true, so gentle is he
- i'll weep for him as he would weep for me
- little boy blue come your blow horn
- in scarlet town, where i was born
- scarlet town, in the hot noon hours,
- there's palm-leaf shadows and scattered flowers
- beggars crouching at the gate
- help comes, but it comes too late
- by marble slabs and in fields of stone
- you make your humble wishes known
- i touched the garment, but the hem was torn
- in scarlet town, where i was born
- in scarlet town, the 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
