{Intro} 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 gla** 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 {outro}
