Scarlet Ribbons (1955) |
I peeked in to say goodnight |
When I heard my child in prayer |
«And for me, some scarlet ribbons |
Scarlet ribbons for my hair» |
All our stores were closed and shuttered |
All the streets were dark en bare |
In our town, no scarlet ribbons |
Scarlet ribbons for her hair |
Through the night my heart was aching |
Just before the dawn was breaking |
In our town, no scarlet ribbons |
Scarlet ribbons for her hair |
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 scerlet ribbons |
Scarlet ribbons for her hair |
