Scarlet Ribbons
I peeked in to say goodnight
- I peeked in to say goodnight
- And then 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 no scarlet ribbons
- Not one ribbon 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 lying there
- Lovely ribbons scarlet ribbons
- Scarlet ribbons for her hair
- If I live to be one hundred
- I shall never know from where
- Came those lovely scarlet ribbons
- Scarlet ribbons for her hair
