Summer boy, take my place 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, now the time has come I'm going back to the place that I love Yellow River Yellow River, Yellow River It's in my mind and in my eyes Yellow River, Yellow River It's in my mind, it's the place I love Got no time for explanations, got no time to lose All night you find me sleeping underneath the moon At Yellow River Cannon fire lingers in my mind I'm so glad I'm still alive And I've been gone for such a long time From Yellow River I remember how the nights were blue I can still see the water blue And I remember the girl alive From Yellow River Yellow River, Yellow River It's in my mind and in my eyes Yellow River, Yellow River It's in my mind, 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 Yellow River, Yellow River It's in my mind and in my eyes Yellow River, Yellow River It's in my mind, it's the place I love *
