I'm conin' home, I've done my time,
now I've got to know what is and isn't mine
If you recieved 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,
its been three long years,
do ya 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 prision
and my love she hold's the key,
a simple yellow ribbin's
what I need to set me free,
I wrote and told her please
Tie a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree,
its been three long years, do ya 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,
its been three long years, do ya still want me?
Now the whole damn bus is cheering
and I can't believe I see
a hundred yellow ribbons round the ole oak tree
