    I peeped in to say goodnight
    And then I heard my child in prayer
    "And for me some scarlet ribbons
    Scarlet ribbons for my hair"
    All the stores were locked 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 two hundred
    I will never know from where
    Came those ribbons, scarlet ribbons
    Scarlet ribbons for her hair
