^^ RIBBON BOW If I had a ribbon bow to tie my hair If I had a fancy sash, my own true love would think me fair And he'd go down to Asheville, a-loggin' on the rise And bring me back with his two hands a very pretty prize If I had a pair of shoes so bright and smart Not a boy in all these parts would know my heart 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 tie my hair If I had a fancy sash so fair. My parents had a '78 of Susan Reid that they bought back in the early 50's with this song on it. Hope it's close to the version you're looking for. Never heard that JJ Niles had anything to do with it. June
