Lyrics

Scarlet Ribbons

I peeked in to say goodnight And 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 Scarlet ribbons for her hair Through the night my heart was aching Just before the dawn was breaking I peeped in and on her pillow On her pillow 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 ribbons, scarlet ribbons Scarlet ribbons for her hair

Kate Nash has paid tribute to Sinéad O'Connor with a reworked version of 'Famine'

The cover carries personal weight through Nash's dual British-Irish heritage. And a tin whistle.
