The Kingston Trio

Scarlet RibbonsThe Kingston Trio Words and Music by Evelyn Danzig and Jack O. Segal-From their 1959 LP "The Kingston Trio At Large"I peeped in to say good nightAnd I heard my child in prayer"Please bring me some scarlet ribbonsScarlet ribbons for my hair"Searched all night, my heart was achingJust before the dawn was breakingI peeped in, and on her bedIn gay profusion lying thereScarlet ribbons, lovely ribbonsScarlet ribbons for her hairIf I live to be a hundredI will never know from whereCame those ribbons, lovely ribbonsScarlet ribbons for her hairTranscribed by Ronald E.
