Yellow River - Lou Christie

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

To Yellow River

Put my gun down, the war is won

Fill my glass high, the time has come

I’m going 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 sleeping 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 sleeping 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
