Who's Gonna Buy You Ribbons (When I'm Gone)

Jim Ed Brown and the Browns · The Three Bells [Bear Family] [1993]

(Paul Clayton)



Ain't no use to sit and cry now darling

Wonder who's gonna buy you ribbons when I'm gone?



It's hard to keep from thinking bout last summer

We used to be together everywhere

Remember how we walked along the sidewalk

We'd stop, I'd buy a ribbon for your hair.



Ain't no use to sit and sigh now darling

And there ain't no use to sit and cryin' now

I can't help but wonder just a little

Wonder who's gonna buy you ribbons when I'm gone?



So now I walk alone along the sidewalk

But somehow things are not the same there

I see the places that we saw together

The shop that sold the ribbons for your hair.



Ain't no use to sit and sigh now darling

And there ain't no use to sit and cryin' now

I can't help but wonder just a little

Wonder who's gonna buy you ribbons when I'm gone?



Wonder who's gonna buy you ribbons when I'm gone?...
