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
For my child 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 lyin' there
Lovely ribbons, scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair
If I live to be two hundred
I shall never, never know from where
Came those lovely scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair
Lovely ribbons, scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair
