Scarlet Town - Bob Dylan

Lyrics

words to study

In Scarlet Town, where 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 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
