Bobbie Gentry - The Girl From Chickasaw County - The Complete Capitol Masters

Scarlet Ribbons

I peeked in to say goodnight
And 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 achin'
Just before the dawn was breakin'

I peeked in and on her bed
A gay profusion lyin' there
Lovely ribbons, scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair

If I live to be two hundred
I will never know from where
Came those ribbons, lovely ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair
