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 telling you
I'd soon be free
Then you'll know just what to do
If you still want me
If you still want me
Whoa tie a yellow ribbon
round the old oak tree
It's been three long years
Do you 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
Whoa tie a yellow ribbon
round the old oak tree
It's been three long years
Do you 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
Now the whole damned bus is cheerin
And I can't believe I see
A hundred yellow ribbons
round the old oak tree
