(Jack Segal/Evelyn Danzig)

|
I peeped in to say good night
|
When I heard my child in prayer
|
"Send 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 my town no scarlet ribbons
|
Scarlet ribbons for her hair
|
|
Through the night my heart was aching
|
Just before the dawn was breaking
|
|
I peeped 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
|
