Jimmy Buffett - Scarlet Begonias lyrics
[Jimmy Buffett - Scarlet Begonias lyrics]
As I was walkin' round Grosvenor Square
Not a chill to the winter but
A nip to the air from the other direction
She was calling my eye
It could be an illusion, but
I might as well try, might as well try
She had rings on her fingers
And bells on her shoes
And I knew without askin' she
Was into the blues
She wore scarlet begonias tucked
Into her curls i knew right away she was
Not like other girls, other girls
In the thick of the evening
When the dealing got rough
She was too pat to open and too cool to bluff
As I picked up my matches
And was closing the door
I had one of those flashes
I'd been there before, been there before
Well, I ain't often right but
I've never been wrong
Seldom turns out the way it does in the song
Once in a while, you get shown the light
In the strangest of places
If you look at it right
Well, there ain't nothing wrong with
The way she moves
Scarlet begonias or a touch of the blues
And there's nothing wrong with the
Look that's in her eyes
I had to learn the hard way
To let her pass by, let her pass by
Wind in the willows playin' "Tea for Two"
The sky was yellow and the sun was blue
Strangers stoppin' strangers
Just to shake their hand
Everybody's playing in the heart
Of gold band, heart of gold band
Not a chill to the winter but
A nip to the air from the other direction
She was calling my eye
It could be an illusion, but
I might as well try, might as well try
She had rings on her fingers
And bells on her shoes
And I knew without askin' she
Was into the blues
She wore scarlet begonias tucked
Into her curls i knew right away she was
Not like other girls, other girls
In the thick of the evening
When the dealing got rough
She was too pat to open and too cool to bluff
As I picked up my matches
And was closing the door
I had one of those flashes
I'd been there before, been there before
Well, I ain't often right but
I've never been wrong
Seldom turns out the way it does in the song
Once in a while, you get shown the light
In the strangest of places
If you look at it right
Well, there ain't nothing wrong with
The way she moves
Scarlet begonias or a touch of the blues
And there's nothing wrong with the
Look that's in her eyes
I had to learn the hard way
To let her pass by, let her pass by
Wind in the willows playin' "Tea for Two"
The sky was yellow and the sun was blue
Strangers stoppin' strangers
Just to shake their hand
Everybody's playing in the heart
Of gold band, heart of gold band
