For this week's jukebox music theme, Many Colours, here is "Scarlet Ribbons", written by Evelyn Danzig and Jack Segal, sung by Harry Belafonte. (I have a sweet memory of my dad singing this one to me.) "I peeked in to say good-night, When I heard my child in prayer, "And for me, some scarlet ribbons, Scarlet ribbons for my hair." All our 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 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." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfqWdrMLw14 #JukeboxFridayNight #ManyColours
