Lyrics
Scarlett 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 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
