（音樂： Tony Orlando & Dawn - Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree）

這首 Tony Orlando & Dawn 樂團所灌唱的歌
由 Irwin Levine 和 L. Russell Brown所寫，
是1973年轟迷全球的大贏家。
在包括美國、英國及其它六個國家的排行榜都得冠。
2008年的排行榜50周年慶的
全球100熱門榜上排了第37位。

綁著黃絲帶或圍著黃領巾的習俗
大概是17世紀在英國開始的，
後來由清教徒帶到美國，
變成女性對遠在外地的丈夫或情人
思念和表達忠實的象徵。

這首歌描述一個剛出獄男人的心情，
他不知道舊情人是否還歡迎他回去，
因此寫了信告訴情人，
如果歡迎他回去的話，
請在家裏院子的大橡樹上綁一個黃絲帶，
結果看到了100個黃色緞絲帶的大驚喜，
這樣的故事。

Tony Orlando & Dawn 樂團是由
主唱Tony Orlando 及 助唱樂團 Dawn 所組成。
Dawn 的成員是Telma Hopkins，
Joyce Vincent Wilson 和 Pamela Vincent。

Tony Orlando & Dawn - Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree

Im comin home, Ive done my time
Now Ive got to know what is and isnt mine
If you received my letter telling you Id soon be free
Then youll know just what to do
If you still want me, if you still want me

Whoa, tie a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree
Its been three long years, do you still want me?
If I dont see a ribbon round the ole oak tree
Ill stay on the bus, forget about us, put the blame on me
If I dont see a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree

Bus driver, please look for me
Cause I couldnt bear to see what I might see
Im really still in prison and my love, she holds the key
A simple yellow ribbons what I need to set me free
And I wrote and told her please

Whoa, tie a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree
Its been three long years, do you still want me?
If I dont see a ribbon round the ole oak tree
Ill stay on the bus, forget about us, put the blame on me
If I dont see a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree

Now the whole damned bus is cheerin
And I cant believe I see
A hundred yellow ribbons round the ole oak tree
Im comin home

Tie a ribbon round the ole oak tree
Tie a ribbon round the ole oak tree
Tie a ribbon round the ole oak tree
Tie a ribbon round the ole oak tree
