She Wore A Yellow Ribbon
Around her neck she wore a yellow ribbon
She wore it in the springtime and in the month of May
Hey, hey
And if you asked her why the heck she wore it
She wore it for her lover who was far, far away
Far away (far away)
Far away (far away)
Oh, she wore it for her lover who was far, far away
Far away (far away)
Far away (far away)
Oh, she wore it for her lover who was far, far away
Around her knee she wore a purple garter
She wore it in the springtime and in the month of May
Hey, hey
And if you asked her why the heck she wore it
She wore it for her lover who was far, far away
Far away (far away)
Far away (far away)
Oh she wore it for her lover who was far, far away
Far away (far away)
Far away (far away)
Oh she wore it for her lover who was far, far away
Behind the door her father kept a shotgun
He kept it in the springtime and in the month of May
Hey, hey
And if you ask him why the heck he kept it
He kept it for her lover who was far, far away
Far away (far away)
Far away (far away)
Oh he kept it for her lover who was far, far away
Far away (far away)
Far away (far away)
Oh he kept it for her lover who was far, far away
And on the wall she keeps a marriage license
She keeps it in the springtime and in the month of May
Hey, hey
And if you asked her why the heck she keeps it
She keeps it for her lover who is far, far away
Far away (far away)
Far away (far away)
Oh she keeps it for her lover who is far, far away
Far away (far away)
Far away (far away)
Oh she keeps it for her lover who is far, far away
She wore it in the springtime and in the month of May
Hey, hey
And if you asked her why the heck she wore it
She wore it for her lover who was far, far away
Far away (far away)
Far away (far away)
Oh, she wore it for her lover who was far, far away
Far away (far away)
Far away (far away)
Oh, she wore it for her lover who was far, far away
Around her knee she wore a purple garter
She wore it in the springtime and in the month of May
Hey, hey
And if you asked her why the heck she wore it
She wore it for her lover who was far, far away
Far away (far away)
Far away (far away)
Oh she wore it for her lover who was far, far away
Far away (far away)
Far away (far away)
Oh she wore it for her lover who was far, far away
Behind the door her father kept a shotgun
He kept it in the springtime and in the month of May
Hey, hey
And if you ask him why the heck he kept it
He kept it for her lover who was far, far away
Far away (far away)
Far away (far away)
Oh he kept it for her lover who was far, far away
Far away (far away)
Far away (far away)
Oh he kept it for her lover who was far, far away
And on the wall she keeps a marriage license
She keeps it in the springtime and in the month of May
Hey, hey
And if you asked her why the heck she keeps it
She keeps it for her lover who is far, far away
Far away (far away)
Far away (far away)
Oh she keeps it for her lover who is far, far away
Far away (far away)
Far away (far away)
Oh she keeps it for her lover who is far, far away
