"Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Ole Oak Tree"
will always remain one of America's greatest patriotic songs . . .
and so very deservingly associated with Tony Orlando . . . who has evoked the same
emotional pride in every performance since this number one top 1973
hit in the USA and UK was released.
Tony Orlando has also continued to exemplify
love and pride of America throughout his legendary career performing
for troops including in harm's way . . . And the same goes for his
tireless support of veterans, which his noble efforts during many Branson
Veterans Weeks illustrate . . . Tony Orlando is a true
patriot!
Nor is there a better way to experience "Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Ole Oak Tree"
than listening to Tony Orlando and Dawn perform it while watching
this video honoring the military.
I'm comin' home, I've done my
time Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine
If you received my letter tellin' you I'd soon be free
Then you'll know just what to do if you still want me
If you still want me CHORUS: 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 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: REPEAT CHORUS
Now the whole damn bus is cheering And I can't
believe I see A hundred yellow ribbons 'round the old
oak tree I'm comin' home
"Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Ole Oak Tree"
will always remain one of America's greatest patriotic songs . . .
and so very deservingly associated with Tony Orlando . . . who has evoked the same
emotional pride in every performance since this number one top 1973
hit in the USA and UK was released.
