Scarlett Ribbons – Bobbie GentryBy I peek in to say goodnightAnd I heard my child in prayer“And for me some scarlett ribbonsScarlett ribbons for my hair”All the stores were closed and shudderedAll the streets were dark and bareIn our town no scarlett ribbonsNot one ribbon for her hairThrough the night my heart was achingJust before the dawn was breakingI’d peeked in and on her bedA gay profusion lying thereLovely ribbons, scarlett ribbonsScarlett ribbons for her hairIf I live to be two hundredI will never know from whereCame those ribbons, lovely ribbonsScarlett ribbons for her hair www.pillowlyrics.com419786497975 88k 20
