She Wore A Yellow Ribbon Composer(s): M. Ottner; Leroy Parker; Traditional Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters; Russ Morgan
Round her neck she wore a yellow ribbon She wore it in the winter And the merry month of May When I asked her Why the yellow ribbon? She said Its for my lover who is far far away
Far away, far away, far away, far away She said Its for my lover who is far far away Far away, far away, far away, far away She said Its for my lover who is far far away
When, at first, she met a winsome Johnny He wasnt sure her heart was pure Her eyes were far too bold So, round her neck He tied a yellow ribbon He tied a yellow ribbon Cause it matched her hair of gold
Hair of gold, hair of gold He tied a yellow ribbon Cause it matched her hair of gold Hair of gold, hair of gold He tied a yellow ribbon For her eyes were far too bold
If, perchance, you spy a lovely maiden And by her side, there walks with pride A Johnny strong and gay And round her neck there is a yellow ribbon No matter how you love her Please stay far far away
Far away, far away, far away, far away No matter how you love her Please stay far far away Far away, far away, far away, far away Her love is for another So stay far far away Far far away
Round her neck she wore a yellow ribbon She wore it in the winter And the merry month of May When I asked her Why the yellow ribbon? She said Its for my lover who is far far away
Far away, far away, far away, far away She said Its for my lover who is far far away Far away, far away, far away, far away She said Its for my lover who is far far away
Far far away For her lover who is far far away Round her neck she wore a yellow ribbon She wore it in the winter And the merry month of May When I asked her Why the yellow ribbon? She said Its for my lover who is far far away
Far away, far away, far away, far away She said Its for my lover who is far far away Far away, far away, far away, far away She said Its for my lover who is far far away
When, at first, she met a winsome Johnny He wasnt sure her heart was pure Her eyes were far too bold So, round her neck He tied a yellow ribbon He tied a yellow ribbon Cause it matched her hair of gold
Hair of gold, hair of gold He tied a yellow ribbon Cause it matched her hair of gold Hair of gold, hair of gold He tied a yellow ribbon For her eyes were far too bold
If, perchance, you spy a lovely maiden And by her side, there walks with pride A Johnny strong and gay And round her neck there is a yellow ribbon No matter how you love her Please stay far far away
Far away, far away, far away, far away No matter how you love her Please stay far far away Far away, far away, far away, far away Her love is for another So stay far far away Far far away
Round her neck she wore a yellow ribbon She wore it in the winter And the merry month of May When I asked her Why the yellow ribbon? She said Its for my lover who is far far away
Far away, far away, far away, far away She said Its for my lover who is far far away Far away, far away, far away, far away She said Its for my lover who is far far away
Far far away For her lover who is far far away
