I had to learn the hard way just to let her pass by
It was the summer of love and I thank the stars above
As everthing works out the way it does in this song
She had rings on her fingers
Sold some ectascy
Sold nitrus, opium, acid, herion and PCP
Because the women took the lovin over me
Cause once in a while you get shown in the light
And I could tell without asking she was into the blues
And now I hear the police coming after me
Songwriters: Jerome J Garcia, Robert C Hunter
All scarlet begoinas and a touch of the blues
We toured to the north, south, east and west
And there ain't nothin wrong with the love that's in her eyes
I knew right away she was not like other girls
A tydyed dress she was a psychadelic mess
Because I sold off my personal property
And bells on her shoes
Well there ain't nothing wrong with the way she moves
And just to gain her trust I bought a microbus
The one scarlet with the flowers in her hair
In the strangest of places if you look at it right
Now I hear the police coming after me
She wore scarlet begonias tucked into her curls
Not a chill to the window a litte to the air
As I was walkin down rubadub square
Well I ain't never been right as I ain't never been wrong
She's got the police coming after me

From another direction she was calling my eye
It could be an illusion, but I might as well try I might as well try
We sold some mushroom tea
