Scarlet Ribbons

[00:05.16] I peeped in to say good night
[00:14.56] And i heard my child in prayer
[00:25.74] "Ooh for me star scarlet ribbon
[00:35.21] Scarlet ribbons for my hair"
[00:44.21]
[00:48.47] All the stores were closed and shuttered
[00:58.21] All the streets were dark and bare
[01:09.12] In my town no scarlet ribbons
[01:18.95] Not one ribbon for her hair
[01:26.95]
[01:31.34] Through the night my heart was aching
[01:38.91] Just before the dawn was breaking
[01:47.05] I peeped in and on her bed
[01:56.48] In gay profusion lying there
[02:05.48]
[02:08.44] Lovely ribbons, scarlet ribbons
[02:18.66] Scarlet ribbons for her hair
[02:29.65] If i live to be a hundred
[02:38.39] I shall never know from where
[02:46.52] Came those lovely scarlet ribbons
[02:56.46] Scarlet ribbons for her hair
[03:07.77]
