[Verse 1]
I'm coming home
I've done my time
Now I 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

[Chorus]
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
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

[Verse 2]
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 yеllow ribbon's what I need to set me free
I wrote and told hеr please
[Chorus]
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
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

[Bridge]
Look-y here
The whole damned 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
