Joan Baez - Scarlet Ribbons Lyrics
I peeked in to say good-night
And there I heard my child in prayer
"And for me, some scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for my hair"
All the streets were dark and bare
In our town, no scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair
Through the night my heart was aching
Just before the dawn was breaking
In our town, no scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair
I peeked in and on her bed
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

Joan Baez Scarlet Ribbons Comments
Boring...but a beautiful song
My nanna used to sing this to me when I was a little girl, she's gone now, and I miss her a lot, this made me cry sad/happy tears.
Lovely! And she was still just a kid in high school.
what a beautiful voice
I fell in love listening to this😍 Her voice is very beautiful and talented, and she is beautiful herself😍 I love Joan Baez❤
What a beautiful rendition, with her clear voice. I wanted to send a link to this song to an old friend, so I listened to a few versions in the last half-hour. I listened to this one more out of curiosity than anything else because I was never a big Joan Baez fan, but this performance might just change that!
was she ever sincere?
o4mscentrum ALWAYS. a Ghandian pacifist..... never ever involved in anything violent. IN 2016? She stands for peace and justice. Period. Her voice is beautiful as ever...
Nice voice. Shame about the politics.
song for my daughter, shannon, when she was a wee girl. printed off the lyrics one year, on lovely paper and framed it for a christ mass gift. she hangs it every year. she's 44.
I heard Joan sing this in a review at Palo Alto High School in '56-'57. She was mesmerizing that night, as of course she still is.
Try listening to the cats or the tribute to the cats band -------Wow!!!!!!!!!
This was written by Evelyn Danzig (music), and Jack Segal (lyrics), in 1949.
At only 17 years old, Joan Baez writes her music like a seasoned female singer-songwriter!
So this is the1958 recording? Sounds mature.Nice.
@intercomsec I thought it was just me that cried for this song as a child
Beautiful. I have always loved this song. Thank you for sharing. Nadine
GO JOANIE! CAN'T BELIEVE NO ONE HAS POSTED ? GORGEOUS RENDITION. THANKS SO MUCH FOR POSTING!
