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,

And if you asked her why the heck she wore it,

She wore if for her lover who was far far away.

Chorus:

Far away, far away,

Oh, she wore it for her lover who was far far away.

Far away, far away,

Oh, she wore it for her lover who was far far away.

(Substitute fourth line of verse in each chorus.)

Around her knee she wore a purple garter,

She wore it in the springtime and in the month of May,

And if you asked her why the heck she wore it,

She wore it for her lover who was far far away.

Behind the door her father kept a shot gun,

He kept it in the springtime and in the month of May,

And if yu asked him why the heck he kept it,

He kept it for her lover who was far far away.

And on the wall she keeps a marriage licence,

She keeps it in the springtime and in the month of May,

And if you ask her why the heck she keeps it,

She keeps it for her lover who is far far away.
