SINGER: The Cats

SONG:Scarlet Ribbons

I peeped in to say good night
and i heard my child in prayer
"bring me some scarlet ribbons
scarlet ribbons for my hair"
All the stores were closed and shuttered
all the streets were dark and bare
in my town no scarlet ribbons
not one ribbon for her hair
Through the night my heart was aching
just before the dawn was breaking
i peeped in and on her bed
in gay profusion lying there
lovely ribbons, scarlet ribbons
scarlet ribbons for her hair
If i live to be a hundred
i shall never know from where
came those lovely scarlet ribbons
scarlet ribbons for her hair
