So long, boy

you can take my place

got my papers, I got my pay

so, pack my bags

and I'll be on my way

to Yellow River

Put my gun down

the war is won

fill my glass high

the time has come

I'm goin' 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 explanations

got no time to lose

tomorrow night

you'll find me sleepin'

underneath the moon

at Yellow River

Cannon fire

lingers in my mind

I'm so glad 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

Got no time for explanations

got no time to lose

tomorrow night

you'll find me sleepin'

underneath the moon

at 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
