|
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 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
|
|
CHORUS
|
Whoa, tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree
|
It's been three long years
|
Do ya 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
|
|
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
|
|
(CHORUS)
|
|
Now the whole damned bus is cheerin'
|
And I can't believe I see
|
A hundred yellow ribbons 'round the ole oak tree
|
|
I'm comin' home, mmm, mmm
|
|
(Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree)
|
(Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree)
|
(Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree)
|
|
FADE
|
|
(Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree)
|
(Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree)
|
(Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree)
