So long, boy, you can take my place
Got my papers, I got my pay
So pack my bags and I'll be on my way
To Yellow River
Put my gun down, the water's warm
Fill my glass, how the time has come
I'm going back to the place that I love
Yellow River
Yellow River, Yellow River
It's in my mind and in my eyes
Yellow River, Yellow River
It's 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
Can't find it, it's in my mind
I'm so glad I'm still alive
And I've been gone for such a long time
at Yellow River
I remember the nights were cool
I can still see the water
And I remember the girls
Yellow River
Yellow River, Yellow River
It's in my mind and in my eyes
Yellow River, Yellow River
It's 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
It's in my mind and in my eyes
Yellow River, Yellow River
It's in my blood, it's the place I love
Got no time for explanations, got no time to lose
