Parton, Dolly - Tie A Yellow Ribbon Lyrics






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

Just tie a yellow ribbon 'round the old oak tree
It's been way too long, do you still want me?
If I don't see a ribbon 'round the old oak tree
I'll just 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, he holds the key
A simple yellow ribbon's all I need to set me free
I wrote and told him please...

Just tie a yellow ribbon 'round the old oak tree
It's been way too long, do you still want me?
If I don't see a ribbon 'round the old oak tree
I'll just stay on the bus, forget about us, put the blame on me
If I don't see a ribbon 'round the old oak tree

Tie a yellow ribbon 'round that old oak tree
I'm coming home

Now the whole dang bus is cheerin' and I can't believe
I see a hundred yellow ribbons tied 'round the old oak tree
I'm comin' home, I'm glad you waited for me
Tie a yellow ribbon 'round the old oak tree
Tie a ribbon 'round the old oak tree
Tie a ribbon 'round the old oak tree
Tie a yellow ribbon if you still want me

Tie a yellow ribbon 'round the old oak tree
Tie a yellow ribbon 'round the old oak tree

Parton, Dolly Tie A Yellow Ribbon Comments

    I never met the amazing magical Dolly
    But I will one day and get down on my knees and kiss her feet
    And thank her for doing such a sensational recording of this song the late Irwin Levine and I wrote in 1973

    Beautiful version 😍😍

  3. w.... ....

    Best version I've ever heard of this tune. It's so rare to hear a cover excell beyond the original, but Dolly pulled it off. This is amazing! Could listen all day!

  4. T.... L....

    Class Act to me that Dolly! Never forgot her roots! Enjoyed eating at Dixie Stampede. The name has changed. Yall need to stop trying to erase History. It is just that. History. Does not mean I am a certain way or another. I cannot control the Past. When we do, guess what happens? History repeats itself. Ask God to forgive your Ancestors, etc. Not your place. Love one another. He is the only Judge whom truly will judge your actions when your TIME is up. Trust in that!

    When I heard this, I was so amazed I couldn't even move for a minute because of how amazed I was at this version of Tie A Yellow Ribbon

  6. F.... N....
