The Kingston Trio
 Words and Music by Evelyn Danzig and Jack O. Segal

 -From their 1959 LP "The Kingston Trio At Large"


 I peeped in to say good night
 And I heard my child in prayer
 "Please bring me some scarlet ribbons
 Scarlet ribbons for my hair"

 Searched all night, my heart was aching
 Just before the dawn was breaking

 I peeped in, and on her bed
 In gay profusion lying there
 Scarlet ribbons, lovely ribbons
 Scarlet ribbons for her hair

 If I live to be a hundred
 I will never know from where
 Came those ribbons, lovely ribbons
 Scarlet ribbons for her hair
