Scarlet Ribbons (For Her Hair) |
(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) |
