I'm coming home
I've done my time
Now I've gotta 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 old oak tree
It's been three long years
Do ya still want me
If I don't see a ribbon
'Round the old 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 old 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 old oak tree
It's been three long years
Do ya still want me
And if I don't see a ribbon
'Round the old oak tree
Hey I'll stay on the bus
Forget about us
Put the blame on me
If I don't see
A yellow ribbon
Round the old oak tree
Look it 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 old oak tree
