This is an 8 minute segment of the old
1970's TV show with Tony Orlando and Dawn,
with their opening hit number Tie A
Yellow Ribbon Round the Old Oak Tree.
It's just plain fun to revisit this
clip and see the original song played
out live in an audience.

SONG LYRICS

I'm comin' home, I've done my time
Now I've got to know what is or 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

Ohh, tie a yellow ribbon 'round the old oak tree
It's been three long years
Do you still want me? (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

-----

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, she holds the key
A simple yellow ribbon's what I need to set me free

I wrote and told her please

Whoa, tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree
It's been three long years
Do ya still want me (still want me)
If I don't see a ribbon 'round the ole 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 ole oak tree

Now the whole damned bus is cheerin'
And I can't believe I see
A hundred yellow ribbons 'round the old oak tree

(Tie a ribbon 'round the old oak tree)
(Tie a ribbon 'round the old oak tree)
(Tie a ribbon 'round the old oak tree)
(Tie a ribbon 'round the old oak tree)
