Tie a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree - Tony Orlando & Dawn (1973) live (with lyrics)

Live on 12, 25th 1973



(Lyrics)

I'm coming home. I've done my time.
Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine.
If you received my letter telling you I'd soon be free,
Then you'll know just what to do if you still want me,

If you still want me,
Oh, tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree.
It's been three long years.
Do you still want me?
(Still want me?)
If I don't see a ribbon 'round the ole 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 ole 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,
Oh, tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree.
It's been three long years.
Do you still want me?
(Still want me?)
If I don't see a ribbon 'round the ole 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 ole oak tree.

Now the whole damn bus is cheering,
And I can't believe I see,
A hundred yellow ribbons 'round the ole oak tree.

I'm coming home, mm-hmm.

(Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree.
Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree.
Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree.

Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree.
Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree.
Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree.

Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree...)

Knock three times - Tony Orlando & Dawn (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

Hey, girl, whatcha doin' down there?
Dancin' alone every night
While I live right above you?
I can hear your music playing.
I can feel your body swaying.
One floor below me,
You don't even know me,
I love you.

Oh, my darling,
Knock three times
On the ceiling if you want me.
Mmm-hmm, twice on the pipe
If the answer is no.

Oh my sweetness,
Means you'll meet me
In the hallway.
Ohh, ohh, twice on the pipe
Means you ain't gonna show.
If you look out your window tonight,
Pulling the string with the note that's
Attached to my heart.
Read how many times I saw you.
How in my silence, I adore you.
And only in my dreams, did that wall
Between us come apart.

Oh, my darling,
Knock three times
On the ceiling if you want me.
Mm-hmm, twice on the pipe
If the answer is no.

Oh my sweetness,
Means you'll meet me
In the hallway.
Ohh, ohh, twice on the pipe
Means you ain't gonna show.
Whoa, I can hear the music playing.
I can feel your body swaying.
One floor below me,
You don't even know me,
I love you.

Oh, my darling,
Knock three times
On the ceiling if you want me.
Ohh, ohh, twice on the pipe
If the answer is no.

Oh my sweetness,
Means you'll meet me
In the hallway.
Mmm-hmm, twice on the pipe
Means you ain't gonna show.

(Lyrics)

The stars won't come out if they know that you're about
'Cause they couldn't match the glow of your eyes
And, oh, who am I ?
Just an ordinary guy
Tryin' hard to win me first prize

Oh, my Candida
We could make it together
The further from here, girl, the better
Where the air is fresh and clean

Candida
Just take my hand and I'll lead ya
I promise life will be sweeter
'Cause it said so in my dreams

The future looks bright, the gypsy told me so last night
Said she saw our children playing in the sunshine
And there were you and I ... in a house, Baby, no lie
And all these things were yours, and they were mine

Oh, my Candida
We could make it together
The further from here, girl, the better
Where the air is fresh and clean

Candida
Just take my hand and I'll lead ya
I promise life will be sweeter
'Cause it said so in my dreams

Oh, my Candida
We could make it together
The further from here girl the better
Where the air is fresh and clean

Candida
Just take my hand and I'll lead ya
I promise life will be sweeter
'Cause it said so in my dreams
