Karaoké Scarlet Ribbons The Cats

I peeped in to say good night

And then 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 peeped in and on her bed

In gay profusion lying there

Lovely ribbons scarlet ribbons

Scarlet ribbons for her hair

If I live to be one hundred

I shall never know from where

Came those lovely scarlet ribbons

Scarlet ribbons for her hair
