Lyrics
scarlet ribbons for her hair
In gay profusion lying there, in gay profusion lying there, when i heard my child in prayer
scarlet ribbons for her hair
Scarlet ribbons for her hair, through the night my heart was aching, if i live to be a hundred
I peeked in and on her bed, scarlet ribbons for her hair, all the streets were dark en bare
Scarlet ribbons for my hair, scarlet ribbons for her hair
Scarlet ribbons for her hair, scarlet ribbons for her hair
Scarlet ribbons for her hair, scarlet ribbons for her hair
through the night my heart was aching
Through the night my heart was aching, just before the dawn was breaking
Scarlet ribbons, no scarlet ribbons Ribbons, if i live to be a hundred
Scarlet ribbons, i peeked in to say goodnight
Scarlet ribbons for her hair, scarlet ribbons for her hair
if i live to be a hundred
Scarlet ribbons for her hair, all our stores were closed and shuttered, came those lovely scerlet ribbons
All our stores were closed and shuttered, scarlet ribbons
Through the night my heart was aching, in gay profusion lying there
if i live to be a hundred
scarlet ribbons for my hair
All the streets were dark en bare, all the streets were dark en bare
All the streets were dark en bare, i peeked in to say goodnight Máiréad, i peeked in to say goodnight
All the streets were dark en bare, came those lovely scerlet ribbons
I peeked in and on her bed, through the night my heart was aching
When i heard my child in prayer, scarlet ribbons for her hair Carlin, all our stores were closed and shuttered
lovely ribbons
in gay profusion lying there
I will never know from where, scarlet ribbons for her hair Ribbons, scarlet ribbons for her hair
i peeked in and on her bed
Some scarlet ribbons, no scarlet ribbons
i peeked in to say goodnight
In gay profusion lying there, i peeked in to say goodnight Scarlet, if i live to be a hundred
All our stores were closed and shuttered, no scarlet ribbons Máiréad, no scarlet ribbons
Came those lovely scerlet ribbons, i will never know from where, scarlet ribbons for her hair
Scarlet ribbons for her hair, no scarlet ribbons, i peeked in and on her bed
I will never know from where, i peeked in to say goodnight
i will never know from where
Scarlet ribbons for her hair, some scarlet ribbons
If i live to be a hundred, all the streets were dark en bare
I peeked in and on her bed, lovely ribbons
all our stores were closed and shuttered
I will never know from where, in gay profusion lying there, came those lovely scerlet ribbons
No scarlet ribbons, no scarlet ribbons Ribbons, i peeked in and on her bed
Scarlet ribbons for her hair, all the streets were dark en bare
All our stores were closed and shuttered, scarlet ribbons Scarlet, just before the dawn was breaking
Just before the dawn was breaking, scarlet ribbons for her hair
if i live to be a hundred
i will never know from where
all the streets were dark en bare
Came those lovely scerlet ribbons, scarlet ribbons Máiréad, in gay profusion lying there
Some scarlet ribbons, just before the dawn was breaking, i peeked in and on her bed
Came those lovely scerlet ribbons, i peeked in and on her bed, i peeked in and on her bed
