If I had a ribbon bow
To bind my hair
If I had a fancy sash
My own true love would think me fair
And he would go to Franklin
A-loggin' on the rise
He'd bring me back with his two hands
A very pretty prize
If I was like the city born
All fair and smart
Not a lad in all these parts
Would know my heart
And I would go to Franklin
Where all the lawin' goes
I'd knock about in settlements
A-wearin' foreign clothes
If I had a ribbon bow
To bind my hair
If I had a fancy sash
My own true love would think me fair
My red heels would go flashin'
Where e'er my fancy would
My love would see and wish that he
Had taken me, when he could
If I had a ribbon bow
To bind my hair
If I had a fancy sash so fair
If I Had a Ribbon Bow was produced by Jac Holzman.
