I peeked in to say, "Goodnight"
And I heard my child in prayer
"Please bring me some scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for my hair"
Searched all night, my heart was achin'
Just before the dawn was breaking
I peeked in and on her bed
In gay profusion lying there
Scarlet ribbons, lovely ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair
If I live to be a hundred
I will never know from where
Came those ribbons, lovely ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair
