I'm comin' home, I've done my time,
|
Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine,
|
If you 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 . . .
|
|
Tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree,
|
It's been three long years,
|
Do you still want me ? ( 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 around 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 yella 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 you still want me ? ( 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 . . .
|
|
Tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree,
|
. . . three long years,
|
. . . still want me ?
|
And now the whole damn bus is cheerin'
|
And I can't believe I see . . .
|
|
A hundred yellow ribbons 'round the ole . . .
|
The ole oak tree!
|
|
Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree,
|
Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree,
|
Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree . . .
