Scarlet Ribbons For Her Hair
I peeked in to say goodnight
- I peeked in to say goodnight
- And then I heard my child in prayer
- Send for me some scarlet ribbons
- Scarlet ribbons for my hair
- All the stores were locked and shuttered
- All the streets were dark and bare
- In our town no scarlet ribbons
- No scarlet ribbons for her hair
- Through the night my heart was aching
- Just before the dawn was breaking
- I peeked in and on her bed
- In gay profusion laying there
- Scarlet ribbons scarlet ribbons
- Pretty 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
