Scarlet Ribbons

Scarlet Ribbons - Nina

Written by：E. Dayne

I peeked in to say good night

And there 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

Scarlet ribbons 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

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 scarlet ribbons

Scarlet ribbons for her hair

Lovely ribbons scarlet ribbons

Scarlet ribbons for her hair
