Tie a Yellow Ribbon Around the Old Oak Tree Songtext
von Frank Sinatra

I′m coming home I've done my time
Now I′ve got to know what is and isn't mine
If you receive 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
It′s been three long years, do ya still want me?
If I don't see a ribbon, round the ole oak tree, yeah
I′ll stay on the bus, forget about us, put the blame on me
If I don't see a yellow ribbon ′round that 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
Tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree

It′s been three long years, do ya still want me
And if I don't see a ribbon ′round the ole oak tree, yeah
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

Lookie here, the whole damn bus
Is cheering and I can't believe I see
A hundred yellow ribbons
A hundred yellow ribbons
A hundred yellow ribbons ′round the ole oak tree
