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 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 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
Got no time for explanation 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
