- (Instrumental, no lyrics)
-
- Verse:
- 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.
-
- Chorus:
- 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 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.
