The Brothers Four - Scarlet Ribbons (Campfire 13)

The Brothers Four perform "Scarlet Ribbons." This is a song about the magical connection between the singer and his daughter. Mike McCoy does a masterful job.

LYRICS:
I peeked in to say goodnight
When 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
And just before the dawn was breaking
I peeked 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 will never know from where
Came those lovely scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair

Mark Pearson has been a part of The Brothers Four since 1968.
