I'm comin' home,
I've done my time
Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine
If you receive 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
Woh, 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
I wrote and told her, please
Woh, 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 damn bus is cheering
And I can't believe
I see
A hundred yellow ribbons
'round the old oak tree
I'm comin' home, mm-hmm
