She Wore a Yellow Ribbon

She Wore a Yellow Ribbon - Russ Morgan/The Skylarks

Written by：Trad ArrOttner Parker

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

If perchance you spy a lovely maiden

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
