So long boy you can take my place

I got my papers I got my pay

So pack my bags and I'll be on my way to yellow river

Put my gun down the war is won

Fill my glass high the time has come

I'm goin' back to the place that I love yellow river

Yellow river yellow river is in my mind and in my eyes

Yellow river yellow river is in my blood it's the place that I love

Got no time for explanations got no time to lose

Tomorrow night you'll find me sleepin' underneath the moon

And yellow river

Cannon fire lingers in my mind

I'm so glad I'm still alive

And I've been gone for such a long time from yellow river

I remember the nights were cool

I can still see the water pool

And I remember the girl that I knew from yellow river

Yellow river yellow river is in my mind and in my eyes

Yellow river yellow river is in my blood it's the place that I love

Got no time for explanations got no time to lose

Tomorrow night you'll find me sleepin' underneath the moon

And yellow river

Yellow river yellow river is in my mind and in my eyes

Yellow river yellow river is in my blood it's the place that I love
