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 guns down the war is won 
Fill my glass high the time [bad word] 
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 explanation 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 that 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
