Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Old Oak Tree
Tony Orlando & Dawn 1973
  (Red Boot 139)   Don Williamson
 
two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
*I'm coming home I've done my time
I've got to know what is and isn't mine
If you received my letter telling you I'd soon be free
Then you'll know just what to do

Allemande and weave
Oh, tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree
Dosado and promenade with me
**If I see a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree
Then I'll know you still want me


FIGURE (twice for heads, twice for sides)    Mainstream, corner progression

1 & 3 lead to the right and circle round the track
Break and make a line, go forward up and back, pass thru
Tag the line, face in and then
Pass thru, tag the line and face in again
Slide thru, square thru 3/4 round you go
Swing that corner lady round and promenade you know
If I see a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree
Then I'll know you still want me


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Bus driver please look for me
I just can't stand to see what I might see
I'm really still in prison and my love she holds the key
A simple yellow ribbon

Allemande and weave

**The whole bus load is cheering, and I can't believe I see
A hundred yellow ribbons round that tree


TAG

A hundred yellow ribbons round that tree
