If I Had A Ribbon Bow - Odetta
If I had a ribbon bow to bind my hair
If I had a fancy sash
My love would think me fair
Then he would go to Frankfurt
A-loggin' 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 think me fair
If I was like a 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
A-wearing foreign clothes
If I had a ribbon bow to bind my hair
If I had a fancy sash
