(Pretty, pretty ribbons)
(Lovely, lovely ribbons)
(Scarlet ribbons for her hair)
I peeked in to say goodnight
And then I heard my baby's prayer
"And for me some scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for my hair"
(Pretty, pretty ribbons)
(Lovely, lovely ribbons)
All the stores were locked and shuttered
All the streets were dark and bare
In our town no scarlet ribbons
Not one ribbon for her hair
(Not a single 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 (lovely, lovely ribbons, scarlet, 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
(Pretty, pretty ribbons)
(Lovely, lovely ribbons)
(Scarlet ribbons for her hair)
