Inrodução:    I’m coming 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 know just what to do   if you still want me If you still want me   Oh tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree It’s been three long years  do you still want me If I don’t see a ribbon round the old 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 old oak tree           Busdriver please look for me     Interlude:    ’Cause I couldn’t bear to see what I might see         I’m really 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 Oh tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree It’s been three long years  do you still want me If I don’t see a ribbon round the old oak tree   I’ll stay on the bus forget about us ut the blame on me          If I don’t see a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree           Interlude:    Now the whole damn bus is cheering and I can’t believe I see          A hundred yellow ribbons round the old oak tree

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson raconte l'histoire d'un homme qui revient de prison après avoir purgé sa peine. Il est anxieux de savoir si son amour l'attend toujours et lui demande de lui faire savoir en attachant un ruban jaune à un vieux chêne. Cela symbolise son espoir et sa vérification des sentiments de l'autre. Si aucun ruban n'est visible, il préférerait rester en retrait, persuadé qu'elle a tourné la page. Le contexte de la chanson évoque le thème de l'attente et de l'espoir dans des relations éprouvées par le temps et les épreuves. Ce retour symbolique à la maison met en lumière le désir de réconciliation et la quête d'amour, après des années d'absence.
