Around Her Hair She Wore a Yellow Ribbon

Around her hair she wore a yellow ribbon
She wore it in the spring time, in the early month of May
And if you asked her why the heck she wore it
She’d say she wore it for her soldier who was far, far away
Far away
Far away
She wore it for her soldier who was far, far away
Around the block she pushed a baby carriage
She pushed it in the spring time, in the merry month of May
And if you asked her why the heck she pushed it
She’d say she pushed it for her soldier who was far, far away
Far away
Far away
She pushed it for her soldier who was far, far away
Behind the door, her daddy kept a shotgun
He kept it in the spring time, in the merry month of May
And if you asked her why the heck he kept it
He’d say he kept it for that soldier who was far, far away
Far away
Far away
He kept it for that soldier who was far, far away
Around his grave she laid the pretty flowers
She laid them in the spring time, in the merry month of May
And if you asked her why the heck she laid them
She’d say she laid them for her soldier who was far, far away
Far away
Far away
She laid them for her soldier who was far, far away
