The Brothers Four

Scarlet Ribbons

Lyricist:E Danzig, J Segal

I peeked in to say, 'Good night'
When 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
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
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
