Does anyone have the lyrics to Tony Orlando's, "tie a yellow ribbon
round the old aok tree?"

Or maybe you know the location of a good source for lyerics. I need
diffrent kinds of lyerics so a large sorce of diffrent stuff would be
cool.

This would really help me out big time.

Thanks,

Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Ole Oak Tree

-Artists: Dawn featuring Tony Orlando
-the # 24 song of the 1970-1979 rock era
-was # 1 for 4 weeks in 1973
-Words and Music by Irwin Levine and L. Russell Brown


I'm comin' 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

CHORUS
Whoa, tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree
It's been three long years
Do ya still want me? (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 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

(CHORUS)

<instrumental interlude>

Now the whole damned bus is cheerin'
And I can't believe I see
A hundred yellow ribbons 'round the ole oak tree

I'm comin' home, mmm, mmm

(Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree)
(Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree)
(Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree)

FADE

(Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree)
(Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree)
(Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree)

This site, in my opinion, is evolving into a GREAT site for lyrics. It
is notorious for it's errors here and there (but then wasn't lyrics.ch?
lol) anway, just be aware of that. And the song you were lookig for--
here is where I found it. happy lyrics hunting, mamu


Tie a Yellow Ribbon (Round the Old Oak Tree)

(CHORUS)
