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
Tellin' you I'd soon be free
Then you'll know just what to do
If you still want me

If you still want me

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 oak tree
I'll stay on the bus, forget about us
Put the blame on me

If I don't see a yellow ribbon around 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
Simple yella ribbon's, what I need to set me free

I wrote and told her please
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 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

Tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree
. . . three long years
. . . still want me?
And now the whole damn bus is cheerin'
And I can't believe I see

A hundred yellow ribbons 'round the ole
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
