 Rate Scarlett Ribbons
Artist : Bobbie Gentry
Song : 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
