Scarlet Begonias Lyrics - License To Chill - Jimmy Buffett

[Originally by The Grateful Dead] 

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

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

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 always right but I've never been wrong 

Seldom turns out the way it does in a 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

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,
