So long boy you can take my place, got my papers I got my pay, so pack my bags and I'll be on my way to yellow riverPut my gun down the war is won
Fill my glass high the time has come
I'm going back to the place that I love, yellow riverYellow river yellow river is in my mind and in my eyes
Yellow river yellow river is in my blood it's the place I love
Got no time for explanations got no time to lose
Tomorrow night you'll find me
Sleeping underneath the moon at yellow riverCannon fire lingers in my mind I'm so glad I am still alive
And I've been gone for such a long time from yellow riverI remember the nights were cool I can still see the waterpool
And I remember the girl that I knew from yellow riverYellow river yellow river is in my mind and in my eyes
Yellow river yellow river is in my blood it's the place I love
