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
