Jo Stafford - Scarlet Ribbons (For Her Hair) (Ft. Paul Weston and His Orchestra)

[Intro]
(Pretty, pretty ribbons
Lovely, lovely ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair)

[Verse 1]
I peeked in to say goodnight
And then I heard my baby's prayer
"And for me some scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for my hair" (Pretty, pretty ribbons, lovely, lovely ribbons)
[Verse 2]
All the stores were locked and shuttered
All the streets were dark and bare
In our town no scarlet ribbons
No one ribbon for her hair (Not a single ribbon for her hair)

[Bridge]
Through the night my heart was aching
Just before the dawn was breaking

[Verse 3]
I peeked in and on her bеd
In gay profusion lying there
Lovely ribbons, scarlеt ribbons (Lovely, lovely ribbons, lovely, lovely ribbons)
Scarlet ribbons for her hair

[Verse 4]
If I live to be two hundred
I will never know from where
Came those lovely scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair

[Outro]
(Pretty, pretty ribbons
Lovely, lovely ribbons)
Scarlet ribbons for her hair
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
