Worum geht es in dem Song?

Der Songtext "Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Old Oak Tree" von Ray Conniff handelt von einem Mann, der aus dem Gefängnis ...

I'm coming home, I've done my time
Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine
If you receive my letter telling you I'd soon be free
Then you know just what to do if you still want me
If you still want me

Oh, tie a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree
It's been three long years, do you still want me?
If I don't see your ribbon round the ole oak tree
I'll stay on the bus, forget about us, and put the blame on me
If I don't see the yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree

Bus driver please, look for me
'Cause I couldn't bear to see what I might see
I'm really still in prision
My love, she holds a key
A single yellow ribbon's what I need to set me free
I wrote and told her "please"

Oh, tie a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree
I'ts been three long years, do you still want me?
If I don't see your ribbon round the ole oak tree
I'll stay on the bus, forget about us, put the blame on me
If I don't see the yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree

Now the whole damn bus is cheering
And I can't believe I see
A hundred yellow ribbons round the ole oak tree
