Tono:
Am In Scarlet Town, where I was born
Am There's ivy leaf and silver thorn
Am The streets have names that you can't pronounce
G E Gold is down to a quarter of an ounce
Am The music starts and the people sway
Am Everybody says, "Are you going my way? "
Am Uncle Tom still workin' for Uncle Bill
G E Scarlet Town is under the hill.
Am Scarlet Town in the month of May
Am Sweet William Holme on his deathbed lay
Am Mistress Mary by the side of the bed
G E Kissin' his face and heapin' prayers on his head
Am So brave, so true, so gentle is he
Am I'll weep for him as he would weep for me
Am Little Boy Blue come your blow horn
G E In Scarlet Town, where I was born

Am Scarlet Town, in the hot noon hours,
Am There's palm-leaf shadows and scattered flowers
Am Beggars crouching at the gate
G E Help comes, but it comes too late
Am By marble slabs and in fields of stone
Am You make your humble wishes known
Am I touched the garment, but the hem was torn
G E In Scarlet Town, where I was born
Am In Scarlet Town, the end is near
Am The Seven Wonders of the World are here
Am The evil and the good livin' side by side
G E All human forms seem glorified
Am Put your heart on a platter and see who will bite
Am See who will hold you and kiss you good night
Am There's walnut groves and maplewood
G E In Scarlet Town cryin' won't do no good
Am In Scarlet Town, you fight your father's foes
Am Up on the hill, a chilly wind blows
Am You fight 'em on high and you fight 'em down in
G E You fight 'em with whiskey, morphine and gin
Am You've got legs that can drive men mad
Am A lot of things we didn't do that I wish we had
Am In Scarlet Town, the sky is clear
G E You'll wish to God that you stayed right here
Am Set 'em Joe, play "Walkin' the Floor"
Am Play it for my flat-chested junkie whore
Am I'm staying up late, I'm making amends
G E While we smile, all heaven descends
Am If love is a sin, then beauty is a crime
Am All things are beautiful in their time
Am The black and the white, the yellow and the brown
G It's all right there in front of
E you in Scarlet Town
