Tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree

Wise Guys


I'm comin' home, I've done my time. 
Now I've got to know what is or isn't mine. 
If you received my letter, then you'll know I'll soon be free 
And you'll know just what to do 
If you still want me 
If you still want me 

Tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree 
It's been three long years 
Do you still want me? 
If I don't see a ribbon round the old oak tree 
Iäll 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. 

I made mistakes, I paid the fee. 
But I have to know if she's still here for me 
You see, I'm really still in prison 
And my love, she holds the key. 
A simple yellow ribbon's all I need to set me free. 
I wrote and told her please 

Tie a yellow ribbon... 

Bus driver, please look for me 
'cause I couldn't bear to see what I might see 
Now the whole damned bus is cheerin' 
And I can't believe I see... 
A hundred yellow ribbons round the old oak tree...!
