Scarlet Ribbons (For Her Hair)

guitar chords lyrics

Roger Whittaker

I peeked in to say goodnight
And I heard my child in prayer
"And for me some scarlet ribbons

Scarlet ribbons for my hair"
All the stores were closed and shuttered
All the streets were dark and bare
In our town no scarlet ribbons
Not one ribbon for her hair
Through the night my heart was aching
Just before the dawn was breaking
I peeked in and on her bed
In gay profusion, lying there
Lovely ribbons, scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair
If I live to be two hundred

Lovely ribbons, scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair
If I live to be two hundred
I will never know from where
Came those ribbons, lovely ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair
