I'm coming home I've done my time |
|
And I've got to know what is or isn't mine |
|
If you received my letter |
|
Telling you I'd soon be free |
|
Then you'd know just what to do |
|
If you still want me |
|
If you still want me |
|
Oh tie a yellow ribbon |
|
'Round the old oak tree |
|
It's been three long years |
|
Do you still want me |
|
If I don't see a ribbon |
|
'Round the old oak tree |
|
I'll stay on the bus, forget about us |
|
And put the blame on me |
|
If I don't see a yellow ribbon |
|
'Round the old oak tree |
|
Bus driver please look for me |
|
'Cause I couldn't bear to see what I might see |
|
I'm really still in prison |
|
And my love she holds the key |
|
A simple yellow ribbon's what I need to set me free |
|
I wrote and told her please |
|
Oh tie a yellow ribbon |
|
'Round the old oak tree |
|
It's been three long years |
|
Do you still want me |
|
If I don't see a ribbon |
|
'Round the old oak tree |
|
I'll stay on the bus, forget about us |
|
And put the blame on me |
|
If I don't see a yellow ribbon |
|
'Round the old oak tree |
|
Now the whole damn bus is cheering |
|
And I can't believe I see |
|
A hundred yellow ribbons |
|
'Round the old, the old oak tree! |
