[Verse 1: Chris Thile]
Buddy I went down to Scarlet Town
Ain't never been there before
You slept on a feather bed
And I slept on the floor
Buddy, I don't mind a mean old time
Or drinking my coffee cold
But the things I seen in Scarlet Town
Did mortify my soul
[Chorus: Chris Thile & Brad Mehldau]
I look at that deep well
I look at that dark grave
Ringing that iron bell
In Scarlet Town today
[Verse 2: Chris Thile]
I spent some time in New Orleans
And in Cairo on a bend
But Scarlet Town a-brought me down
As low as I ever been
[Chorus: Chris Thile & Brad Mehldau]
I look at that deep well
I look at that dark grave
Ringing that iron bell
In Scarlet Town today
Buddy I went down to Scarlet Town

And I slept on the floor

But the things I seen in Scarlet Town
Did mortify my soul
[Chorus: Chris Thile & Brad Mehldau]
I look at that deep well
I look at that dark grave
Ringing that iron bell
In Scarlet Town today
[Verse 2: Chris Thile]
I spent some time in New Orleans
And in Cairo on a bend
But Scarlet Town a-brought me down
As low as I ever been
[Chorus: Chris Thile & Brad Mehldau]
I look at that deep well
I look at that dark grave
Ringing that iron bell
In Scarlet Town today
