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 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
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 And I wrote and told her please
Whoa, 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
Now the whole damned bus is cheerin' And I can't believe I see
A hundred yellow ribbons round the ole oak tree I'm comin' home
Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree
