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 River.
Put my guns down, the war is won
Fill my glass high the time has come
I'm 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, it's the place I love.
It's got no time for explanations,
It's got no time for lose
Tomorrow night you'll find me sleeping underneath the moon
at Yellow River.
Cannon fire lingers in my mind
I'm so glad that 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 I love
It's got no time for explanations,
It's got no time for lose
Tomorrow night you'll find me sleeping underneath the moon
at 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 I love.
