Paroles de Scarlett Ribbons

I peek in to say goodnight And I heard my child in prayer "And for me some scarlett ribbons Scarlett ribbons for my hair" All the stores were closed and shuddered All the streets were dark and bare In our town no scarlett ribbons Not one ribbon for her hair Through the night my heart was aching Just before the dawn was breaking I'd peeked in and on her bed A gay profusion lying there Lovely ribbons, scarlett ribbons Scarlett ribbons for her hair If I live to be two hundred I will never know from where Came those ribbons, lovely ribbons Scarlett ribbons for her hair
