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 ole oak tree.
It's been three long years,
Do ya still want me? (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.

Whoa, tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree.
It's been three long years,
Do ya still want me? (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 damned bus is cheerin'.
And I can't believe I see,
A hundred yellow ribbons 'round the ole oak tree.

I'm comin' home, mmm, mmm.

(Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree)
(Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree)
(Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree)

[Repeats to fade-out end]
(Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree)
