Scarlet Ribbons Lyrics

Scarlet Ribbons

The 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 night

And I heard my child in prayer

"Please bring me some scarlet ribbons

Scarlet ribbons for my hair"

Searched all night, my heart was aching

Just before the dawn was breaking

I peeped 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
