I peeked in to say good-night,
|
When 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.
|
|
Thru 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 a hundred,
|
I will never know from where.
|
Came those lovely Scarlet Ribbons,
|
Scarlet Ribbons for her hair.
|
|
Scarlet Ribbons- There's magic in the air,
|
Scarlet, Scarlet Ribbons for her hair.
