Scarlet Ribbons

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I peeked in to say goodnight And I heard my child in prayer Send to me some scarlet ribbons Scarlet ribbons for her hair [Verse 2] All the stores were closed and shuttered All the streets were dark and bare In our town no scarlet ribbons Scarlet ribbons for her hair [Chorus] 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 a hundred I will nevеr know from where Came thosе lovely 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
