Scarlett Ribbons - Live

I peeked in to say goodnight

And 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

Scarlet ribbons for her hair

Through the night, my heart was aching

Just before the dawn's breaking

I peeked in and on her pillow

On her pillow laying 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 ribbons, scarlet ribbons

Scarlet ribbons for her hair
