Scarlet Ribbons
(专辑： When You Come To The End Of The Day - 1958)
I
peeked in to say goodnight, And then 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 ribbon 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 two hundred, I
will never know from where, Came those lovely scarlet ribbons, Scarlet ribbons, for her hair!
