[C] [Gm] [F]
I [B] peeked in to say goodnight, and I heard [C] my child in prayer.
[F] Please [Bb] bring me some [C] scarlet [F] ribbon,
[C]
scarlet ribbon for [F] my hair.
Searched all night,
[Bbm] my heart [Bb] was aching.
Just
[C] before the dawn was breaking, [F]
I [Bb] peeked in and on [F] her bed.
[G] In gay [C] profusion, lying [F]
there.
[C]
[Bb] Scarlet ribbon,
[Em] lovely [F] ribbon, [C] scarlet ribbon for [F] her hair.
If I live to [Bb] be a hundred, [C]
I'll [G]
[Gm] be from where [C]
[F] came [Bb] those ribbons.
[G] [F] Lovely ribbon, [C] scarlet ribbon for her [F] hair.
[Bb] [F]
