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 gun 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 explanations, 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 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 explanations, 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
