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 ole oak tree
It's been three long years, do you still want me? (still want me)
If I don't see a ribbon round the ole (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 (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? (still want me)
If I don't see a ribbon round the ole (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 (round) the ole oak tree
Now the whole darned bus is cheerin'
And I can't believe I see
A hundred yellow ribbons around the ole (round), the old 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
Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree
Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree"
