Scarlet Lady

Look at the girl in the scarlet dress
Looking like a queen, she can't be less
Than the lovely maiden of a rich man's son
Look at them, look at her everyone
Am I such a fool to think that she could ever be mine
If I'm such a fool
Tell me why I stand here looking at her all the time

I wish that I wasn't just a boy
Working in the kitchen under her employ
I wish I had money and a great big farm
I'd ride away with her on my arm
Am I such a fool to think that she could ever be mine
If I'm such a fool
Tell me why I stand here looking at her all the time

I'm just a fool in her eyes and I know it
If she saw the love in my eyes she wouldn't show it

Look at the girl in the scarlet dress
Looking like a queen, she can't be less
Than the lovely maiden of a rich man's son
Look at them, look at her everyone
Am I such a fool to think that she could ever be mine
If I'm such a fool
Tell me why I stand here looking at her all the time
