This song is available for immediate downloading.

I peeped in to say “Goodnight,”
and then I heard my child in prayer:
“And for me, some scarlet ribbons,
scarlet ribbons for my hair.”

All the stores were closed and shuttered;
All the streets were dark and bare.
In our town, no scarlet ribbons,
not one ribbon for her hair.

Through the night my heart was aching...
.....

..... If I live to be two hundred,
I will never know from where
came those lovely scarlet ribbons,
scarlet ribbons for her hair.

Meredith Chapman is the great-niece of Evelyn Danzig, composer of "Scarlet Ribbons."
Lyrics for "Scarlet Ribbons" were written by Jack Segal.
