Yellow Ribbon Lyrics

Yellow Ribbons

I fell in love with a girl down in New Orleans

She wore a bright blue dress, yellow ribbons in her hair

She shared the secrets of her soul with mine

I did the same, we lost track of time

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, she said

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright

Cause that's the way that it goes

I spent nights in her room, yellow ribbons and perfume

When I played my guitar, she would dance by the light of the moon

She shared the secrets of her soul with mine

I did the same, we lost track of time

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, she said

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright,

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, she said

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright,

Cause that's the way that it goes.

Well I left in the spring to play honky tonks and my dreams

I never returned to that girl with yellow ribbons in her hair

It's alright, cause that the way that it goes

Cause that's the way that it goes,

Cause that's the way that it goes.
