| Lyrics: | (R.Brown, I.Levine)
[Recorded May 21, 1974, Hollywood]
I'm coming home I've done my
time,
Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine,
If you receive 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.
Tie a yellow ribbon `round the ole oak tree,
It's been three long years, do ya 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 ribbon `round the ole 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,
Simple yellow ribbon's what I need to set me free.
I wrote and told
her please tie a yellow ribbon `round the ole oak tree,
It's been three long years, do ya 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 ribbon `round the ole oak tree.
Now the whole damn
bus is cheering and I can't believe I see
A hundred yellow ribbons `round the ole oak tree. |
