Scarlet Ribbons (1956) |
| 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 |
