I'm coming 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

Oh! Tie a yellow ribbon 'round the old 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 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
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

Oh! Tie a yellow ribbon 'round the old 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 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

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 coming home, mm-hmm

Tie a ribbon 'round the old oak tree
Tie a ribbon 'round the old oak tree
Tie a ribbon 'round the old oak tree

Tie a ribbon 'round the old oak tree
Tie a ribbon 'round the old oak tree
Tie a ribbon 'round the old oak tree
