[Verse 1] I peeked in to say good night And I heard my child in prayer And for me some scarlet ribbons Scarlet ribbons for my hair [Verse 2] All the stores were closed and shuttered All the streets were dark and bare In our town, no scarlet ribbons Not one ribbon for her hair [Bridge] Through the night my heart was aching Just before the dawn was breaking [Verse 3] I peeked in and on her bed In gay profusion lying there Lovely ribbons, scarlet ribbons Scarlet ribbons for her hair [Verse 4] If I live to be to hundred I will never know from where Came those ribbons, lovely ribbons Scarlet ribbons for her hairYou might also like
