Scarlet Town (罪恶小镇) - Chris Thile/Brad Mehldau (布拉德·梅尔道)

Written by:Gillian Welch

Buddy I went down to Scarlet Town

And never been there before

You slept on a feather bed

And I slept on the floor

Buddy

I don't mind a little town

Or drinking my coffee cold

But the things I seen in Scarlet Town

Done mortify my soul

Look at that deep well

Look at that dark ray

Ringing that iron bell

In Scarlet Town today

Spent some time in New Orleans

And carry on I've been

A Scarlet Town brought me down

As low as I ever been

I look at that deep well

I look at that dark ray

Ringing that iron bell

In Scarlet Town today

I went down to Scarlet Town

You promised you'd be my bride

Then you left me here to rot away

Like holly on a mountainside

Man

I look at that deep well

I look at that dark ray

Ringing that iron bell

In Scarlet Town today

Buddy you can hide in Scarlet Town

For a hundred years or more

But the man who knows what time it is

Is knocking at the door

So fare you well my one true love

If you never see me around

I'll be looking through a telescope

From hell to Scarlet Town

I look at that deep well

I look at that dark ray

Ringing that iron bell

In Scarlet Town today

I look at that deep well look at that deep well

Look at that dark

I look at that dark ray

Ringing that iron bell

In Scarlet Town today
