Scarlet Ribbons

歌詞

I peeked in to say goodnight When I heard my child in prayer "And for me, some scarlet ribbons Scarlet ribbons for my hair" All our stores were closed and shuttered All the streets were dark en bare In our town, no scarlet ribbons Scarlet ribbons for her hair Through the night my heart was aching Just before the dawn was breaking In our town, no scarlet ribbons Scarlet ribbons for her hair 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 a hundred I will never know from where Came those lovely scerlet ribbons Scarlet ribbons for her hair
