Verse
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"
Verse 2
All Our 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
Verse 3
In Our Town, No Scarlet Ribbons, Scarlet Ribbons For Her Hair
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
