The Browns – Letras de Scarlet Ribbons (For Her Hair)

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 lying there
I saw ribbons, 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.
