So long, boy, you can take my place
I've got my papers, I've got my pay
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
It's in my mind and in my eyes
Yellow River, Yellow River
it's the place that I love
Got no time for explanations,
Tomorrow night you'll find me
I'm so glad I'm still alive
I remember the nights were cool
I can still see the water blue
Yellow River, Yellow River
It's in my mind and in my eyes
Yellow River, Yellow River
it's the place that I love
Got no time for explanations,
Tomorrow night you'll find me
swimming up beneath the moon
Yellow river, yellow river
It's in my mind, and in my eyes
Yellow river, yellow river
it's the place that I love
Yellow River, Yellow River
