[Jo Stafford, Paul Weston and His Orchestra - Scarlet Ribbons For Her Hair lyrics]

(Pretty, pretty ribbons
Lovely, lovely ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair)

I peeked in to say goodnight
And then I heard my baby's prayer
"And for me some scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for my hair"
(Pretty, pretty ribbons, lovely
Lovely ribbons)

All the stores were locked and shuttered
All the streets were dark and bare
In our town no scarlet ribbons
No one ribbon for her hair
(Not a single ribbon for her hair)

Through the night my heart was aching
Just before the dawn was breaking

I peeked in and on her bеd
In gay profusion lying there
Lovely ribbons, scarlеt ribbons
(Lovely, lovely ribbons, lovely
Lovely ribbons) scarlet ribbons for her hair

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

(Pretty, pretty ribbons
Lovely, lovely ribbons)
Scarlet ribbons for her hair (Ooh ooh ooh)
