|
Round her neck she wore a yellow ribbon |
|
She wore it in the winter |
|
And the merry month of May |
|
When I asked her: Why the yellow ribbon? |
|
She said: It's for my lover who is far far away |
|
Far away, far away, far away, far away |
|
She said: It's for my lover who is far far away |
|
Far away, far away, far away, far away |
|
She said: It's for my lover who is far far away |
|
When, at first, she met a winsome Johnny |
|
He wasn't sure her heart was pure |
|
Her eyes were far too bold |
|
So, round her neck |
|
He tied a yellow ribbon |
|
He tied a yellow ribbon |
|
'Cause it matched her hair of gold |
|
Hair of gold, hair of gold |
|
He tied a yellow ribbon |
|
'Cause it matched her hair of gold |
|
Hair of gold, hair of gold |
|
He tied a yellow ribbon |
|
For her eyes were far too bold |
|
And by her side, there walks with pride |
|
A Johnny strong and gay |
|
And round her neck there is a yellow ribbon |
|
No matter how you love her |
|
Please stay far far away |
|
Far away, far away, far away, far away |
|
No matter how you love her |
|
Please stay far far away |
|
Far away, far away, far away, far away |
|
Her love is for another |
|
So stay far far away |
|
Far far away |
|
Round her neck she wore a yellow ribbon |
|
She wore it in the winter |
|
And the merry month of May |
|
When I asked her: Why the yellow ribbon? |
|
She said: It's for my lover who is far far away |
|
Far away, far away |
|
She said: It's for my lover who is far far away |
|
Far away, far away |
|
She said: It's for my lover who is far far away |
|
Far far away |
|
For her lover who is far far away |
