Around her hair she wore a yellow ribbon
She wore it in the spring time, in the early month of May
And if you asked her why the heck she wore it
She'd say she wore it for her soldier who was far, far away
Far away
Far away
She wore it for her soldier who was far, far away
Around the block she pushed a baby carriage
She pushed it in the spring time, in the early month of May
And if you asked her why the heck she pushed it
She'd say she pushed it for her soldier who was far, far away
Far away
Far away
She pushed it for her soldier who was far, far away
Behind the door, her father kept a shotgun
She kept it in the spring time, in the early month of May
And if you asked her why the heck she kept it
She'd say she kept it for her soldier who was far, far away
Far away
Far away
She kept it for her soldier who was far, far away
Around his grave she laid the pretty flowers
She laid them in the spring time, in the early month of May
And if you asked her why the heck she laid them
She'd say she laid them for her soldier who was far, far away
Far away
Far away
She laid them for her soldier who was far, far away
 
Around the block she pushed a baby carriage.

She pushed it in the spring time and in the month of May.

And when you asked her why the hell she pushed it.

She said it's for my young Marine so far far away.
 
Around her neck she wore a yellow ribbon,
and if you ask her why the hell she wore it
she wore it for that devil dog so far far away
far away
far away
 
She kept it for that sailor who was far, far away

Around his grave she laid the pretty flowers

She laid them in the spring time, in the early month of May

And if you asked her why the heck she laid them

She'd say she laid them for her sailor who was far, far away
 
Here's the original:


In her hair she wore a yellow ribbon
She wore it in the spring time...in the merry month of May
And if you asked her why she wore that ribbon
She wore it for her trooper who was in the Cavalry.
 
Yellow Ribbon

This is the version we sing.

Around, her hair, she wore a yellow ribbon.
She wore it in the spring time, in the merry month of may
And if, you ask, her why the hell she wore it
She wore it for her Airman who was far far away

Far Away!
Far Away!
She wore it for her Airman who was far far away

Around, the block, she pushed a baby carriage
She pushed it in the spring time, in the merry month of may
And if, you ask, her why the hell she pushed it
She pushed it for her Airman who was far far away

Far away!
Far Away!
She pushed it for her Airman who was far far away

Behind, the door, her daddy kept a shot gun
he kept it in the spring time, in the merry month of may
and if, you ask, him why the hell he kept it
he kept it for her Airman who was far far away

Far Away!
Far Away!
He kept it for her Airman who was far far away

Around, his neck, he wore a leather collar
he wore it in the spring time, in the merry month of may
and if, you ask, him why the hell he wore it
he wore it for his Seaman who was far far away

Far away!
He was gay!
He wore it for his Seaman who was far far away.

Around her hair she wore a yellow ribbon.
She wore it in the springtime, in the very month of may.
And if you ask her why the hell she wore it,
Shed tell you "For my Cav Scout so very far away."

Around her neck she wore a ring and dog tag.
She wore it in the springtime in the very month of may.
And if you ask her why the hell she wore it,
Shed tell you "For my Cav Scout so very far away."

Around the black she pushed a stroller.
She pushed that stroller every day.
And if you ask her why she pushed it,
Shed tell you "For my Cav Scout so very far away!"

On his knee, her Cav Scout leaned
In the springtime in the very month of may.
When he asked her "Mary me?"
She said "Now you wont be so far away."

I love you Clark!
