And then I heard my child in prayer
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
Through 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 shall never love one other
Came those lovely scarlet ribbons, scarlet ribbons, for her hair
I peeked in to say goodnight And then I heard my child in prayer 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 Through 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 shall never love one other Came those lovely scarlet ribbons, scarlet ribbons, for her hair Explain Request ×
