Scarlet Ribbons (for Her Hair) Lyrics - Jim Reeves

I peeked in to say goodnight and then I heard my child in prayer 

Send 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 no scarlet ribbons 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 laying there 

Scarlet ribbons scarlet ribbons pretty 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
