Scarlet Ribbons (for Her Hair) Lyrics - I'm Back And I'm Proud - Gene Vincent

I peeked in to say goodnight 

When 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 aching 

And just before the dawn was breaking 

I peeked in and on her bed 

In gay profusion lying there 

Lovely ribbons, scarlet ribbons 

Scarlet ribbons for her hair

Came those lovely scarlet ribbons 

Scarlet ribbons for her hair
