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 Yellow river Put my gun Down the war is won Fill my glass High the time has come I’m going black To the place that I love Yellow river Yellow river Yellow river Is in my mine And in my eyes Yellow river Yellow river Is in my blood It’s the place I love Got no time For explan ations Got no time to lose Tomorrow night You’ll find my sleeping Under neath the moon At yellow river Cannon fire Fingers in my mind I’m so glad
That I’m still alive And I been gone For such a long time Yellow river I remember The night 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 mine And in my eyes Yellow river Yellow river Is in my blood It’s the place I love Got no time For explan ations Got no time to lose Tomorrow night You’ll find my sleeping Under neath the moon At yellow river Yellow river Yellow river Is in my mine And in my eyes Yellow river Yellow river Is in my blood It’s the place I love
