In her hair she wore a yellow ribbon.
She wore it in the springtime and in the month of May.
And if you ask her why the hell she wore it.
She wore it for that young Marine who was far, far away.
(Chorus)
Far Away
Far Away.
She wore it for that young Marine who was far, far away. HEY!
Around the block she pushed the baby carriage.
She pushed it in the spring time and in the month of may.
And if you ask her why the hell she pushed it.
She pushed it for that young Marine who was far, far away.
(Chorus)
Behind the door, her daddy kept a shotgun.
He kept it in the springtime and in the month of May.
And if you ask him why the hell he kept it.
He kept it for that young Marine who was far, far away.
