The Red Rose And The Briar - John Wesley Harding[00:00:00]

Midweek and we reached scarlet town[00:00:12]

I was almost dying of thirst[00:00:15]

We parked the car in some old schoolyard[00:00:19]

The windscreen caked in dirt[00:00:23]

There was no water in the engine left[00:00:27]

No tread upon the tyres[00:00:31]

The electrics were broke 'cause you went mad[00:00:35]

You ripped out all the wires[00:00:40]

Across the road a small cafe[00:00:47]

In this state of disrepair[00:00:51]

You went for papers and a shave[00:00:55]

So I saved you a chair[00:00:59]

I knew it wasn't the journey's end[00:01:03]

And that your dream was incomplete[00:01:06]

But I just could not stand anymore[00:01:10]

I was dead upon my feet[00:01:15]

I was dead upon my feet[00:01:19]

There's nothing there in the market square[00:01:23]

But the ghost of the scarlet town crier[00:01:27]

I was dead upon my feet[00:01:31]

I sing the red rose and the briar[00:01:37]

I sing the red rose and the briar[00:01:41]

The waitress told me her life story[00:02:00]

She'd always meant to up and go[00:02:03]

She wiped a cup on her red pinafore[00:02:07]

As we waited for you to show[00:02:11]

And I told her just a little of you[00:02:15]

But left the picture incomplete[00:02:18]

You still weren't there to paint it in person[00:02:23]

So I skipped out on the street[00:02:28]

I skipped out on the street[00:02:31]

The newsagent grinned[00:02:35]

He said yes you'd been in[00:02:37]

You bought a local paper and some shades[00:02:39]

The washroom attendant said[00:02:43]

That you'd freshened up[00:02:45]

That you'd left but you hadn't paid[00:02:47]

And I couldn't figure out where you were[00:02:51]

So I went back to look near the car[00:02:54]

There was nothing there where[00:02:58]

It should have been[00:03:00]

Just oil on dirt and tar[00:03:05]

Just oil on dirt and tar[00:03:08]

There's nothing there in the market square[00:03:12]

But the ghost of the scarlet town crier[00:03:16]

And there was nothing there[00:03:19]

Where it should have been[00:03:21]

I sing the red rose and the briar[00:03:26]

I sing the red rose and the briar[00:03:30]

I saw it parked way down the street[00:03:44]

In a garage off on the right[00:03:48]

And a man said 'get your hands off son'[00:03:52]

I just traded that wreck for a motorbike[00:03:56]

There was nothing left of mine inside[00:03:59]

Not even the broken radio[00:04:03]

And I couldn't figure out where that left me[00:04:08]

So I went back to look for rose[00:04:13]

The cafe rouge was a lunchtime rush[00:04:21]

Of regulars yelling for food[00:04:25]

And service in there left a lot to be desired[00:04:29]

And all the regulars were getting rude[00:04:32]

I saw an apron thrown over a chair[00:04:36]

A note said 'hey John we're gone we're gone'[00:04:40]

And I just smiled 'cause I loved you both[00:04:45]

So I put the apron on[00:04:52]

I put the apron on[00:04:55]

Still nothing there in the market square[00:04:59]

But the ghost of the scarlet town crier[00:05:03]

And I just put the apron on[00:05:07]

I sing the red rose and the briar[00:05:13]

I sing the red rose and the briar[00:05:17]

I sing the red rose and the briar[00:05:21]

I sing the red rose and the briar[00:05:25]

In scaled there was a born[00:05:42]

There was a paint it do alone[00:05:46]

All the color of the hair was brawn[00:05:51]

And the end[00:05:53]

And the end was[00:05:55]

And the end was[00:05:59]
