Scarlet Ribbons.

Seq - Dr. J.Pitt-Payne. Kar - Bunty Pritchard Jones. Jan 2001.

I peeked in to say Good~night
and then I heard my child in pray'r,

"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 two hundred,
I will never know from where,

Came those lovely scarlet ribbons,
scarlet ribbons for her hair.
