Further to Martin Jonas' post of 1 May 1999, I recently bought a Fairport Convention album which included the band's 1967 version of If I Had a Ribbon Bow. Here's my transcript of the track. I've checked and checked, and the phrase 'to tie my hair' at the beginning of the song really does become 'to tie IN my hair' towards and at the end of it:

If I had a 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,
A palace home where I could have everything.

If I had a ribbon bow to tie my hair,
This old world would come and go; I wouldn't care.
I'd stay up in my castle, and I'd always wear
A ribbon bow so fine to tie my hair.

All the livelong day, to the Lord above me
All I do is pray, for someone to love me.

If I had a 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 in my hair.

There's a story long ago, a story seldom told.
What she wanted from this world was not of gems and gold.
Her wishes were quite plain as you will see.
For often she would simply make this plea:

All the livelong day, to the Lord above me
All I do is pray, for someone to love me.

If I had a 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,
A pretty little ribbon bow,
Prince Charming then would court me, his love he would swear,
If I had a ribbon bow to tie in my hair. Aaah!
