So long boy you can take my place got my papers I've 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 

Got no time for explanation got no time to 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
