"Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Ole Oak Tree" will always remain one of America's greatest patriotic songs . . . and so very deservingly associated with Tony Orlando . . . who has evoked the same emotional pride in every performance since this number one top 1973 hit in the USA and UK was released.
Tony Orlando has also continued to exemplify love and pride of America throughout his legendary career performing for troops including in harm's way . . . And the same goes for his tireless support of veterans, which his noble efforts during many Branson Veterans Weeks illustrate . . . Tony Orlando is a true patriot!
Nor is there a better way to experience "Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Ole Oak Tree" than listening to Tony Orlando and Dawn perform it while watching this video honoring the military.
I'm comin' home, I've done my time Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine If you received my letter tellin' you I'd soon be free Then you'll know just what to do if you still want me If you still want me CHORUS: Tie a yellow ribbon 'round the old oak tree It's been three long years Do you still want me? If I don't see a ribbon round the old oak tree I'll stay on the bus Forget about us Put the blame on me If I don't see a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree Bus driver, please look for me 'Cause I couldn't bear to see what I might see I'm really still in prison, and my love she holds the key A simple yellow ribbon's what I need to set me free I wrote and told her please: REPEAT CHORUS Now the whole damn bus is cheering And I can't believe I see A hundred yellow ribbons 'round the old oak tree I'm comin' home
