So long, boy you can take my place
  I've got my papers, I've 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 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
    Cannon fire lingers in my mind
  I'm so glad that 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
