So long boy you can take my place

Got my papers I’ve got my pay

So pack my bags and I’ll be on my way

To yellow river



Put my guns down the war is won

Fill my glass high the time has come

I’m going back to the place

That I love yellow river



Yellow river, yellow river is in my mind

And in my eyes

Yellow river, yellow river is in my blood
It’s the place I love

Got no time for explanation

Got no time to lose

Tomorrow night you’ll find me

Sleeping underneath the moon

At yellow river



Cannon fire lingers in my mind

I’m so glad that I’m still alive

And I’ve been gone for such a long time From yellow river



I remember the nights were cool

I can still see the water pool
And I remember the girl that I knew

From yellow river



Yellow river, yellow river…
