Scarlet Ribbons (For Her Hair)The Browns RCA Victor 47-7614(Jack Segal/Evelyn Danzig) Mills Music Inc. ASCAP{I peeped in to say good nightWhen I heard my child in prayer"Send me, God, some scarlet ribbonsScarlet ribbons for my hair"}All the stores were closed and shutteredAll the streets were dark and bare{In my town no scarlet ribbons Not one ribbon for her hair}Through the night my heart was achingJust before the dawn was breaking{I peeped in and on her bedIn gay profusion lying thereI saw a ribbon, scarlet ribbonsScarlet ribbons for her hair}If I live to be a hundredI will never know from where{Came those lovely scarlet ribbonsScarlet ribbons for her hair}Transcribed by Little JohnThese lyrics were transcribed from the specific recording referencedabove, and are for personal use and research interest only.
