Willie Nelson

Willie Hugh Nelson (pronounced /wɪli nɛlsən /; born April 30, 1933) is an American country music singer-songwriter, as well as an author, poet, actor, and activist. The critical success of the album Shotgun Willie (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978), made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music. He was one of the main figures of outlaw country, a subgenre of country music that developed at the end of the 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound. Nelson has acted in over 30 films, co-authored several books, and has been involved in activism for the use of biofuels and the legalization of marijuana. more »

You know I peeked in to say goodnight,
When I heard my child in prayer
She said, "And for me some scarlet ribbons,
Scarlet ribbons for my hair" 

All the stores were closed and shuttered,
And 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, never know from where, 
Came those lovely scarlet ribbons, 
Scarlet Ribbons for her hair

Scarlet ribbons, there's magic in the air 
Scarlet, scarlet ribbons for her hair
