U.S. Marine Corps she wore a yellow ribbon

Select language to translate this lyric

Around her hair she wore a yellow ribbon
She wore it in the spring time, in the early month of May
And if you asked her why the heck she wore it
She'd say she wore it for her soldier who was far, far away
Far away
Far away
She wore it for her soldier who was far, far away
Around the block she pushed a baby carriage
She pushed it in the spring time, in the early month of May
And if you asked her why the hell she pushed it
She'd say she pushed it for her young marine who was far, far away
Far away
Far away
She pushed it for her marine who was far, far away
Behind the door, her father kept a shotgun
She kept it in the spring time, in the early month of May
And if you asked her why the hell she kept it
She'd say she kept it for her marine who was far, far away
Far away
Far away
She kept it for her marine who was far, far away
Around his grave she laid the pretty flowers
She laid them in the spring time, in the early month of May
And if you asked her why the hell she laid them
She'd say she laid them for her marine who was far, far away
Far away
Far away
She laid them for her marine who was far, far away
