I'm coming home

"Yellow ribbon"

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.

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,
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 all
I need to set me free.
I wrote and told her
Please!!!
Now the whole damn bus is cheering
And I can't believe I see
A hundred yellow ribbons
Round the old oak tree.
