Yellow Ribbons

Go tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree
And proudly wave Old Glory above the enemy
Tie yellow ribbons everywhere the sweethearts threw away
Then go tie a yellow ribbon on the garden gate

Then kneel down on your knees there in the garden
And pray for all the soldiers gone to war
Pray God to bless America for doing what we dare
Then go tie a yellow ribbon in your hair

Go tie a yellow ribbon in your hair
So folks around the world will know you really care
Pray God to bless America for doing what we dare
Then go tie a yellow ribbon in your hair

Go tie a yellow ribbon in your hair
So folks around the world will know you really care
Pray God to bless America for doing what we dare
Then go tie a yellow ribbon in your hair
