f I had ribbon bow to tie my hair
And a gown of calico for me to wear
I'd surely get a sweetheart a prince or a king
palace home where I could have anything

If I had a ribbon bow to tie my hair
this old world [bad word] and go I wouldn't care
I'd stay up in my castle and I'd always wear
ribbon bow so fine to tie my hair

All the live long day
to the Lord above me
All I do is pray
For someone to love me

If I had ribbon bow all nice and clean
I could be a princess or a fairy queen
Prince Charming then would court me
His love he would swear
If I had a ribbon bow to tie my hair
