Scarlet Ribbons (For Her Hair) Songtext
von Celtic Thunder

I peeked in to say good night
When 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

If I live to be a hundred
I will never know from where
Came those lovely scarlet ribbons
