Lyrics:

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 old oak tree
It's been three long years
Do ya still want me?
If I don't see a ribbon round the old 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 old oak tree
Bus driver, please look for me
'Cause I couldn't bear to see what I might see
You know, 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, I told her please
Whoa, tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree
It's been three long years
Do ya still want me?
If I don't see a ribbon round the old oak tree
I'll stay on the bus
Forget about us
Put the blame on me
If I don't see that yellow ribbon 'round the old oak tree
Now the whole damned bus is cheerin'

And I can't believe I see
A hundred yellow ribbons round the old oak tree
I'm comin' home

(Tie a ribbon round the old oak tree)
