Scarlet Begonias (Live at Pine Knob Music Theater, Clarkston, MI, June 19, 1991) The Grateful Dead

[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
As I was walking '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

[Verse 2]
She had rings on her fingers and bells on her shoes
Knew without asking 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

[Verse 3]
In the heat of the evening when the dеaling got rough
She was too pat to open and too cool to bluff
I picked up my matchеs and was closing the door
I had one of those flashes I'd been there before
Been there before

[Bridge]
I ain't often right but I've never been wrong
It 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
