She Wore a Yellow Ribbon

歌詞

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: It's for my lover who is far far away Far away, far away, far away, far away She said: It's for my lover who is far far away Far away, far away, far away, far away She said: It's for my lover who is far far away When, at first, she met a winsome Johnny He wasn't 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: It's for my lover who is far far away Far away, far away She said: It's for my lover who is far far away Far away, far away She said: It's for my lover who is far far away Far far away For her lover who is far far away
