Scarlet Ribbons

Scarlet Ribbons - The Kingston Trio

Written by：Evelyn Danzig

I peeked in to say goodnight

And I heard my child in

Prayer please bring me

Some scarlet ribbons

Scarlet ribbons

For my hair

Through the night my heart

Was achin' just before the dawn was breaking

I looked in

And on her bed

In gay profusion

Lying there

Scarlet ribbons

Lovely ribbons

Scarlet ribbons

For her hair

If I live

To be a hundred

I will never know

From where

Came those ribbons

Lovely ribbons

Scarlet ribbons

For her hair
