Tie a Yellow Ribbon

Tie a Yellow Ribbon - The Drifters

I'm comin' home I've done my time

And 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

I said if

You still want me

Hey 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 yellow ribbon

Around the ole oak tree

I'll just stay on the bus

Forget about us

Put the blame on me

If I don't see a yellow ribbon

Around that ole oak tree

Bus driver please look for me

Oh 'cause I can't bear to see

What I might see

Although I'm still in prison

To my love she holds the key

A simple little yellow ribbon

All I need to set me free

'Cause I wrote

And told her please

Yea 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 yellow ribbon

Around the ole oak tree

I just stay on the bus

Forget about us

Put the blame on me

If I don't see a yellow ribbon

Around that ole oak tree

Now the whole darn bus is cheerin'

And I can't believe I see

A hundred yellow ribbons 'round the ole oak tree

I'm comin' home

I've done my time

And I've got to know what is and isn't mine

If you received my letter

Telling you I'd soon be free
