I'm coming home. I've done my time.
|
Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine.
|
If you received my letter telling 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 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 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.
|
|
Now the whole damn bus is cheering,
|
And I can't believe I see,
|
A hundred yellow ribbons 'round the ole oak tree.
|
|
I'm coming home, mm-hmm.
|
|
Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree
