Scarlet Ribbons

(album: Hidden Treasures - 1986)

I peeked in to say goodnight
And I heard my child in prayer
"Please bring me some scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for my hair"

All the shops 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

I looked 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
