Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Old Oak Tree

(I. Levine - L. Russell)



I'm coming home, I've done my time

And I've got to know what is and isn't mine

If you've received my letter tellin' you I'd soon be free

Then you'll know just what to do if you still want me

If you still want me.



Oh, tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree

It's been three long years, do you still want me?

If I don't see a ribbon ;round the ole oak tree

I'll stay on the bus, forget about us, put the blame on me

If I don't see a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree.



Bus driver please, won't you look for me

Oh, 'cause I couldn't bear to see what I might see

You know, I'm really still in prison

And my love he holds the key

A simple yellow ribbon's what I need to set me free

And I wrote and I told him please.



Honey tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree

It's been three long years

And I want to know if you still want me?

If I don't see a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree

I'll gonna stay on the bus

And forget about us, put the blame on me

If I don't see a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree.



Now the whole bus is cheering and I can't believe I see

A hundred yellow ribbons round the ole oak tree...
