Scarlet Ribbons Lyrics
I peeked in to say goodnight,
and I heard my child in prayer.
And for me some scarlet ribbons,
Scarlet ribbons for my hair
All the stores were closed and shuttered,
all the streets were dark and bare.
In our town of scarlet ribbons,
Not one ribbon for her hair.
Thru the night my heart was aching.
And just before the dawn was breaking,
On her bed in gay profusion
lovely ribbons lying there,
Lovely ribbons, scarlet ribbons.
Scarlet ribbons for her hair.
If I live to be a hundred,
I will never know from where,
Came those lovely scarlet ribbons,
Scarlet Ribbons for her hair.
and I heard my child in prayer.
And for me some scarlet ribbons,
Scarlet ribbons for my hair
all the streets were dark and bare.
In our town of scarlet ribbons,
Not one ribbon for her hair.
And just before the dawn was breaking,
lovely ribbons lying there,
Lovely ribbons, scarlet ribbons.
Scarlet ribbons for her hair.
I will never know from where,
Came those lovely scarlet ribbons,
Scarlet Ribbons for her hair.
