Scarlet Ribbons
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I peeped in to say good night
And I heard my child in prayer
"Please bring me some scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for my hair"
Searched all night, my heart was aching
Just before the dawn was breaking
I peeped in, and on her bed
In gay profusion lying there
Scarlet ribbons, lovely ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair
If I live to be a hundred
I will never know from where
Came those ribbons, lovely ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair
