Scarlet Ribbons |
| (I peeped in to say good night |
| When I heard my child in prayer |
| «Send me, God, some scarlet ribbons |
| Scarlet ribbons for my hair») |
| All the stores were closed and shuttered |
| All the streets were dark and bare |
| (In my town no scarlet ribbons |
| Not one ribbon for her hair) |
| Through the night my heart was aching |
| Just before the dawn was breaking |
| (I peeped in and on her bed |
| In gay profusion lying there |
| I saw a ribbon, 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) |
