Yellow Ribbon
Around her hair, she wore a yellow ribbon,
She wore it in the springtime and the merry month of May.
And if you asked her why the heck she wore it,
She wore it for her soldier stationed far, far away.
Far away!
Far away!
She wore it for her soldier who was far, far away.
Around her neck, she wore a silver locket,
She wore it in the springtime and the merry month of May.
And if you asked her why the heck she wore it,
She wore it for her soldier stationed far, far away.
Far away!
Far away!
She wore it for her soldier who was far, far away.
Around her leg, she wore a purple garter,
[etc.]
On her night stand, she kept a soldier's portrait,
[etc.]
Around the block, she pushed a baby carriage,
[etc.]
Behind the door, her daddy kept a shotgun
He kept it in the springtime and the merry month of May.
And if you asked him why the heck he kept it,
He kept it so her soldier would stay far, far away.
Far away!
Oh, far away!
He kept it so her soldier would stay far, far away.

Some where there’s a mother

That’s the best that he can be
Some where there’s a father
Who is proud as he can be

Now he's just a folded flag
Now daughter don't you cry
He wouldn't want your sympathy
He was an airborne ranger
That was the best that he could be
