I'm coming home, I've done my time
And I've got to know what is and isn't mine
If you've 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.

Oh tie a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree
It's been three long years, do you 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, won't you look for me
Oh 'cause I couldn't bear to see what I might see
You know, I'm really still in prison
And my love he holds the key
A simple yellow ribbon's what I need to set me free
And I wrote and I told him please.

Honey tie a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree
It's been three long years
And I want to know if you still want me?
If I don't see a ribbon round the ole oak tree
I'll gonna stay on the bus
> And forget about us, put the blame on me
If I don't see a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree.

Now the whole bus is cheering and I can't believe I see
A hundred yellow ribbons round the ole oak tree
