Artist/Band: Jim Ed Brown and the Browns
Lyrics for Song: Scarlet Ribbons (For Her Hair)
Lyrics for Album: The Essential Jim Ed Brown and the Browns [RCA] [1996]



(Jack O. Segal - Evelyn Danzing)



I peeked in to say goodnight

When I heard my child in prayer

Send dear God, 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 laying there

I saw ribbonsm scarlet ribbons

Scarlet ribbons for her hair.



If I live to be a hundred

I will never know from where

Came those lovely scarlet ribbons

Scarlet ribbons for her hair...
