NRBQ - Scarlet Ribbons Lyrics
You know I peeked in to say goodnightWhen I heard my child in prayerShe said, And for me some scarlet ribbonsScarlet ribbons for my hairAll the stores were closed and shutteredAnd all the streets were dark and bareIn our town, no scarlet ribbonsNot one ribbon for her hairThrough the night my heart was achingAnd just before the dawn was breakingI peeked in and on her bedIn gay profusion lying there,Lovely ribbons, scarlet ribbons.Scarlet ribbons for her hairIf I live to be a hundredI will never, never know from whereCame those lovely scarlet ribbonsScarlet Ribbons for her hairScarlet ribbons, there's magic in the airScarlet, scarlet ribbons for her hair
