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 (Yellow River)

Put my guns down, the war is won
Fill my glass high, the war is won
I'm goin' back to the place that I love
Yellow River (Yellow River)

Yellow River, Yellow River
Is in 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
Tommorow night, you'll find me sleepin' underneath the moon
At Yellow River

Cannon 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 River (Yellow River)

I remember the nights were cool
I can still see the water blue
And I remember the girl that I knew
At Yellow River (Yellow River)

Yellow River, Yellow River
Is in 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
Tommorow night, you'll find me sleepin' underneath the moon
At Yellow River

Yellow River, Yellow River
Is in mind, and in my eyes
Yellow River, Yellow River
Is in my blood, it's the place I love
