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 t o Yellow River.
Put my gun down, the war is won . Fill my glass now, t he time has come.
I'm going back to the place that I love , Yellow River.
Yellow River, Yellow River i s in my mind a nd in my eyes.
Yellow River, Yellow River i s in my blood, it's t he place I love.
Got no time for explanations, got no time to lose,
tomorrow night you'll find me sleeping underneath th e moon at Yellow Riv er.
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 fro m Yellow River.
I remember, the nights were cool , I can still see t he water pool,
and I remember the girl that I knew, fro m Yellow River.
Yellow River, Yellow River i s in my mind a nd in my eyes.
Yellow River, Yellow River i s in my blood, it's t he place I love.
Got no time for explanations, got no time to lose,
tomorrow night you'll find me sleeping underneath the moon a t Yellow Riv er.
Yellow River, Yellow River i s in my mind a nd in my eyes.
Yellow River, Yellow River i s in my blood, it's t he place I love
