YELLOW RIVER
Christie - 1970


So long, boy, you can take my place 
I 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 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 that I love 

Got no time for explanations, got no time to lose 
Tomorrow night you'll find me sleeping underneath the moon 
And 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 

etc.
