"Neil Young has added ‘Yellow Ribbon’ to his ‘Living With War’ website"
Neil Young, Living With War Today (Mar 21, 2009)

  Listen to the song here

 Little Bob he still remembers that day

The day he held his daddy's hand

 He had tears in his eyes cos' daddy's going away

 He's off to another land

 He had a smiling face as he said goodbye

 As he waved his yellow band

 He didn't want his dad to see him cry ~ so

 He pretended it was sand

 Yellow ribbon round the Christmas tree

 Bobby there all alone

 Yellow ribbon round the Christmas tree

 Daddy please come home

 Another year another Christmas tree

 But the presents they're all the same

 You see it doesn't matter what the presents will be ~ cos

 His daddy ~ he never came

 Bob won't forget daddy leaving that day

 And waving him goodbye

 And when he goes to bed he starts to pray

 That his Daddy never saw him cry

 Yellow ribbon round the Christmas tree

 Bobby there all alone

 Yellow ribbon round the Christmas tree

 Daddy please come home

 Yellow ribbon round the Christmas tree

 Reminds us where they are

 Yellow ribbon round the Christmas tree

 Holds daddy's Silver Star

 
  And the sign read

 Do not these blossoms pluck

 But they went just the same

 For the wind cannot read
