- 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.

1960대 초 까까머리 중학생 때 이들이 부르는 그린 휠을 뜻도 모르면서 들었읍니다.지금까지 첫 소절부터 끝 소절까지 부를 줄아는 유일한 노래이니 그저 가슴 먹먹할뿐이지요.너무나 고맙읍니다.
After all those years, now, Sept 14, 2022, listening to them still give me chill...these guys are institutional, out of this world, beyond excellent...I'm 82 now, still love them as when I was younger. God bless you, Brother Four. !
Folk music doesn't get much better. Simply outstanding.
너도 나이들고 죽을때 다되가는 나이들면
알게될거야~
I came to U.S from Cuba in 1962, I never heard of 'Folk Music' before, and then I heard The Brothers Four singing Greenfields......I discovered a new world of music!.
There are many folksingers but The Brothers Four are the best and very special to me.
'Try to Remember', a touching rendition by The Brothers Four.
Thank you, fellows.
Lou.

BACAN: I'm glad you found The Brothers Four. Don't forget that the EVERLY BROTHERS are the ones who inspired them. The Vogues are very good, too. You're English is most excellent. Most Americans, today, can't write as well as you do. Enjoy the old songs and the best of the new songs. Listen to Josh Groban sing "The Prayer" with Celine Dion. You'll see what he looked like at 17, if you find that video on the web. God bless you, & I'm glad you left Cuba.

loving your music over 50 years...you're STILL the best!🥰
This is wonderful ! Pure musical medicine.....no screaming, no head-banging...just sweet transformative balm for the weary soul.
What a great gift to mankind !
Then music you could listen to around a fire, if anyone had a guitar. Everyone knew the words. These songs and the messages they carried were the glue keeping a generation together.
Komme von diesem Lied nicht weg,höre es mehrmals hintereinander ❤️ 👍 🌹
lol you get something else in your head for days.. stick with this safe song..lol..Had this in my head for a week.. waking, sleep etc..😄
I first heard this song on a Harry Belafonte album around 1963 or '64 when I was in the 8th or 9th grade. The Brothers Four do this song justice......and then some.
Thank you for uploading ! Brings back beautiful memories when folk songs were the trend then !👏👏👏👍☺️
My Dad used to sing this to me.....I'm crying right now...
Beautiful love of a father for his precious daughter
Excellent. I've never heard this performed more beautifully!
I can t stop crying / getting lonelier when listening to this song
Me too, and I'm a jaded almost 70 year old who doesn't cry at anything. Except hurt puppies, cute rabbits, and good songs...: )
@@Canoe571 thank you very much for your reply
My daughter has to listen to this every night to go to sleep. I remember my dad singing this to me every night.
💕
Burl Ives, the Brothers Four, PP&M, The Kingston Trio, all records I listened to hundreds of times as a child. Still remember laying on the floor listening to those songs before I was old enough to touch the stereo.
What a neat memory! Thank you for stopping by and thank you for sharing.
lovely.... i like your voice Mr.Mike Mc coy
I love this song so much that I bought some lovely scarlet ribbons for my granddaughters' hair. Very heartwarming song by magical singers.
Masterful is right! Love the textures in his voice - a song of grace. The harmony and arrangement are also first rate. Thank you, all!
How come their version now is much better than when they are young. So melodious, I play it every night before I go to sleep. Thank you for sharing it.
These gentlemen sing it with passion ; with love and emotion / i can t stop crying and they touch my heart
Brilliant

Beautiful....perfect harmony....sweet message...we have much to be thankful for-----these fine performers found each other and shared their talents with the world.
Their voice quality remains, as it was when I heard many years ago. I like their harmony 👍
I heard this song when very young. I loved it so much that I named my doll Scarlett Ribbon. She had a hair wig that was once cut from my hair to make it. I still cherish my doll to this day. My mother made fancy clothes for her.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful story!
Superschön 👍 👍 👍 sooo sanft 🌹 🌹 🌹
Les voix matures sont encore plus belles 🙏🎶❤️❤️🎶
so many versions of this song, but nothing is more emotional and innovative than this love it so much
Listen to Scarlet Ribbons from the Cats!
The Brothers Four have aged since their debut in the 1960's. A great song. From Canada.
Did you mean to say "have aged well"?
In this time of tuneless songs, this song is so refreshing.
IRENEE RITER: We have so many great singers today, I don't know why you say all is "tuneless." You're listening to the wrong music. Have you bought Susan Boyd's CD's? Listen to Josh Groban or Scotty McCreery, or Sawyer Frederickson? Do you know who Carrie Underwood is? Listen to "I Told You So," by Randy Travis when he was young, before a stroke took his voice away. If you listen to junk stations, you'll hear junk music. January 24, 2018
I love folk music sinceI was young.
Para não cair no esquecimento sucessos como este que criei a Rádio Nery com o slogan: Eternizando Músicas sque você consagrou.
Breathtaking beautiful! Thank you for posting. ❤
What beautiful voices and harmonies.
Mike's voice is so beautiful..such feelings and emotions
...when singing!!!

*I Love so Much your Soft Voices. Velvet voices. I vehemently Love the infinite Beauty of Life. Love is Light inside our noble Hearts. Hugs now made of Stars.*
Männer die so singen können,können nicht böse sein...wunderschön 🌹 🌹 🌹
I love the version of The Cats too, but this version is also wonderful. Can't stop listening to this song.
My dear dad's favourite. I cannot hear this without weeping,
It was my Mother's favorite too and I am crying while I writ this.
Me too. My dad used to sing this to me at Bedtime. 😔

If Globalists were anything about world harmony, they'd have allowed our culture to continue forth with such harmony and BEAUTY.
What a beautiful song. It will live forever. Today 2021 there is no music any longer; just filthy noise. Let's bring back those who knew how to sing and make beautiful music! Today, There are those who know nothing what beautiful music is. Let's get rid of the filthy noise today, forever...
STUNNING SOLO.......this song is such a Pillar of Faith
I remember my father singing this just because he liked to sing. I'll never forget it.
夜空を見上げ聞いてます じーん~と心に沁みます。
I heard this performed yesterday, the first time since I was a child when i grew up with the Harry Belafonte version. It brought tears to my eyes and a lump in my throat. Quite sublime and absolutely lovely.

How beautiful a song can be... This song's lyrics so pure, so fascinating, so mysterious, but above everything, so beautiful.
one of he most lovely, thought-provoking songs ever! I'm never tired of it!
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,
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!
In each of our lives such miracles can happen. I can attest to more than one in my life. Insignificant as they would seem to others, they made a difference by showing me FOR SURE powers beyond my comprehension do exist. Please pray for such miracles, needed so very much to free us from today's often evil social climate.
Legend song ,many singer sing this memory song , me too love this song Scarlet Ribbons by The Cats
How could you not love this? This is what the world need more of and less - a lot less - of the other. Whatever it is. I really don’t know. I don’t listen to it. Oh, I tried, sure, but then I started to hemorrhage from the ears and I had to stop. No great loss. Thank you much.
Oh how I love this golden voice!
Without a doubt this is one of the sweetest songs I've ever heard. He has the most beautiful voice and does the song justice.

Always my favourite. Great sound. Still gives me a good feeling when I listen to their music.
This has always been a favorite. Thanks for sharing it again!
