So long boy you can take my place,
Got my papers Ive got my pay
So pack my bags and Ill be on my way
To yellow river
Put my guns down the war is won
Fill my glass high the time has come
Im going 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 its the place I love
Got no time for explanation
Got no time to lose
Tomorrow night youll find me sleeping
Underneath the moon
At yellow river

Cannon fire lingers in my mind
Im so glad that Im still alive
And Ive 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 its the place I love
Got no time for explanation got no time to lose
Tomorrow night youll find me sleeping
Underneath the moon
At yellow river
