Scarlet Ribbons
The Kingston Trio
Continues after the ad
I peeped in to say good night
And I heard my child in prayer
"Please bring me some scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for my hair"
Searched all night, my heart was aching
Just before the dawn was breaking
Continues after the ad
I peeped 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
