[00:08.63]I peeked in to say good-night
[00:14.37]
[00:15.94]When I heard my child in prayer
[00:21.69]
[00:22.69]"And for me  some scarlet ribbons
[00:27.88]
[00:29.38]Scarlet ribbons for my hair "
[00:34.98]
[00:37.43]All the stores were closed and shuttered
[00:43.63]
[00:44.85]All the streets were dark and bare
[00:50.69]
[00:51.83]In our town  no scarlet ribbons
[00:57.01]
[00:58.62]Not one ribbons for her hair
[01:04.13]
[01:07.70]Through the night my heart was aching
[01:13.34]
[01:15.35]Just before the dawn was breaking
[01:22.14]
[01:24.16]I peeked in and on her bed
[01:30.53]In gay profusion lying there
[01:37.32]
[01:38.51]Lovely ribbons  scarlet ribbons
[01:47.89]
[01:48.84]Scarlet ribbons for her hair
[01:51.13]
[01:53.16]If I live to be a hundred
[02:00.19]
[02:02.08]I will never know from where
[02:09.20]
[02:10.92]Came those lovely scarlet ribbons
[02:17.08]
[02:18.40]Scarlet ribbons for her hair
