Scarlet Ribbons (1960)
I peeked in to say goodnight when I heard my child in prayer Send dear God 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 those scarlet ribbons, not one ribbons 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 I saw 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
