If I Had A Ribbon Bow - Ane Brun

If I had a ribbon bow to bind my hair

If I had a fancy sash, my love would think me fair

And when he goes to frankfurt, a-logging on the rise

He’d bring me back with his own hands, a very pretty prize

If I had a ribbon bow to bind my hair

If I had a fancy sash, my love would think me fair

If I was like city girl and fair with smart

Not a lad in all these parts would know my heart

And then I’d live in Frankfurt

Where all the lovers go

I’d lark about them settlements

And wear them foreign clothes

If I had a ribbon bow to bind my hair

If I had a fancy sash
