Dawn - Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree (Audio) ft. Tony Orlando 

The #1 song on the Billboard Hot 100 for 1973 ;-)

Old is GOLD! I miss the 70's 🥲🥲

This was my mother's favourite song. I lost her at 13 but I will never forget the memories made with her. I miss listening to the songs she loved and watching the films she adored (Grease in particular). But most of all I miss her mere presence and hearing her voice. I'm 23 now but will never ever let a day pass by where I don't have her in my thoughts. Love you mum

This was the biggest hit of 1973 and one of the biggest of all time. (In 2018, Billboard ranked it the 46th biggest hit ever.) The instrumentation was retro upon its release, and within ten years, the track sounded corny and dated, an item of ironic nostalgia. Yet, 50 years later, there's no denying this unforgettable ditty's sweet charm.

I was a teenager when this came out. Today as an old man I say what beautiful time we had then.

Why would it be corny to find out someone loves you even more than you do? That's the magic of this song❤

I danced to this song back in 1973. I was only 11 back then and am still dancing in 2021. I am 58 years now and am loving it so much more....I wish I could live forever.

Any legend here in 2024?

Who's still listening here with me this year 2024?

yes i was 9 when this came out , TURN TO JESUS FOR WHOSEVER SHALL CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALLBE SAVED , ROMANS 10-13

To my beautiful husband who was a Vietnam POW and Marine for 18 years. He passed away with me in his arms last November!! I MISS & LOVE YOU JOHNNY G XOXOXOXO

When my uncle came home from vietnam ,my mom and the neighborhood tie'd yellow ribbons all over the trees. He was so happy to see them.

this music reminds me to my Dad, he always got exited with this music, remembering the old times of his youth. so touching the music, this gives me memories that I don't even have from him

My Dad used play this song so much when we would go to church or pick up my grandparents. Such a nice song. Didn't understand lyrics til I got older. But sometimes it's the memory of where you were at the time the song was played rather then the lyrics meaning. Rip my loving father who worked so hard to raise 6 kids. Miss you everyday .always with me

I am Brazilian, grew up listening to this song without knowing what he was saying, but loved anyway. Today, that I understand English the same way I understand Portuguese, I love even more...can't get tired of it.

The walking dead the ones who live episode 4 helicopter scene ! Fireeeeee!🔥🔥🔥🔥

This song is always going to have such a massive place in my heart. 💐🌳🌞

The full lyrics: I'm comin' home, I've done my time Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine If you received my letter telling you I'd soon be free Then you'll know just what to do if you still want me If you still want me Whoa, tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree It's been three long years, do you still want me? (still want me) If I don't see a 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 a 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 prison and my love, she holds the key A simple yellow ribbon's what I need to set me free I wrote and told her please Whoa, tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree It's been three long years, do you still want me? (still want me) If I don't see a 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 a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree Now the whole damn bus is cheerin' and I can't believe I see A hundred yellow ribbons 'round the ole oak tree I'm comin' home, umm-hmm (Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree) (Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree) (Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree) (Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree) (Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree) (Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree) (Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree) (Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree)

It's the "clopping" sound of horse hooves that does it for me... What a timeless classic!!!

Just talked to the writer of this song and I'm really happy that he sang the chorus for me. Thank you as well for being part of the PH history mr. brown. 💛

The 70s and 80s were the best years of my life. Music like this is one of the biggest reasons….

still rocks after all these years, timeless, 71 yr old music lover

I was 10 yrs old, when I first heard gallery!! All these yrs later!!! Aauhh,it's so nice,to be with you!!!!

To all the veterans of the Vietnam war you are not forgotten, you answered the call of your country! I respect and honor you! 🇺🇸

One of the most memorable songs ever,so many memories,respect

Rick and Michonne brought me here.

Such a heartwarming story. Not only one, but numbers of ribbons to cover the oak tree. Love is not about yes, but a yes and a very very very much yes

This is one of the happiest, most hopeful songs ever. It always puts me in a better mood and it’s so fun. The ending especially is super fun! ❤️❤️

They don't make songs like this today! Truly this song is from the good ole days. Peace to all those that lived in better times.

The number one song in the U.S. on the day I was born. April 16th 1973.

I am playing this for missing Nicola Bulley 45, missing mum from St. Michaels on Wyre, Lancashire, England since januari 27, 2023. May she come home safe💛

I just had an old memory of when I was 13 & my mom left. My dad was so beside himself, he tied a yellow ribbon around a tree in our yard & told us that our mom would knew what it meant. I had no idea then.. she never came back. Wow life is sad!

I loved the 70,s growing up.

This is song never gets old..love it..find myself walking around the house singing it..

One of those greats of the seventies of last Century. The lyrics are nice and simple and believable. Still nice to hear and enjoy, as the voices and instruments are nicely matched and combined.

She tied over a thousand ribbons on the tree... one for each day he was gone

Outstanding early 70's song. Always makes me feel good!!

This played as I returned home from the military. Still love it in 2020. It still applies.

this was my song to my Papa.... when vhs tapes and multiplex are really a thing ... i remember singing these when i was 5 until 10 years old i keep singing this and the only thought in my mind was my Papa... I MISS YOU PAPA. my heart still is broken but i know you are in a better place now.. I LOVE YOU PAPA... 💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝

my day wouldn't be complete without this song playing on repeat

I remember dancing this song during our flag ceremony in my elementary days PH, really love this song

Oh! I totally forgot about the end!!! Lump in throat !!!❤❤❤❤❤ Mom's favorite song, we love and miss you mom!

This song means SO MUCH to me as my loving Companion was incarcerated for a while. The letters back and forth sure helped but HIS COMING HOME was THE BEST.

50 years ago and still wonderful...

I wasn’t born till the 80s but this kind of 70s stuff somehow reminds me of cold rainy winter days, staying cosy indoors listening to a crappy radio ❤

My new song obsession for the month. Haven't heard this in forever, so it'll be on repeat for a little while.

Yesterday afternoon I was cleaning out weeds from our Blue Spruce Tree, and I had stopped to catch my breath. As I raised my head I saw the remnants of a yellow ribbon on a branch of that tree. It was the only ribbon I could still find on the tree from 2011 when our son was deployed to Afghanistan. I couldn't say how many ribbons we put on that tree, but as I pulled on it, it tore and landed in my hand. As I looked at it, I cried because I remembered how scared I was until he finally had "boots on the ground" in 2012. I had forgotten that song until it just popped into my head all these years later. I looked it up and it was released in 1973 by Tony Orlando and Dawn. I was 14, and it got a lot of air time on the school bus radio. I never dreamed it would be a song that had so much meaning to me all those years later.

The One Who Live

Anyone 20 yrs old listen to this beautiful song?? Who’s with me??

What a positive, uplifting song!

Anyone here in 2024❤🙏

I wish I could go back. ID give anything to go back. I hope in heaven we feel the same love and happiness that we felt when we were five years old.

My grandfather played this song on his guitar all the time. He is gone now because of this horrible virus.

My dad. Said, 60 70 s are the best years.

Coming from dad’s recommendation! I have studied English Language and Literature, as well as my dad. He studied in Damascus, Syria and I studied in Ramallah, Palestine. We were talking about music,songs, poems and verses. He suggested me this fabulous heartfelt song❤ Thank you Baba, I love you 💛

高校時代ラジオでよく聞きました、65歳になった今も運転しながら聴いています、この曲は心が弾み何回聴いても飽きがきません。

Greetings everyone from Glasgow Scotland uk everyone please stay safe and God bless ... I'm still listening to this classic from all those years ago cant beat it a classic song that wont go old please everyone all over stay SAFE God bless

Dawn was the best backing vocals of all time in my opinion. Telma and Joyce where amazing.

One of my favorite Tony Orlando songs I can recall. What’s different about this one from is that the original key scale, F major, does not move up half a step during the instrumental break unlike his other songs such as “Knock Three Times”.

I remember hearing this playing on the radio📻back in the 70's when I was 7, Wow how the years fly by now being 57 and thanking the Good Lord everyday😊!!!

I remember this being played at my school disco in 1973. Got to dance with the prettiest girl in my school, happy memories😁😁

Today is April 26, 2024. I've made it 38 years and have just now heard this song for the first time. I love music from this era. This is a cute and fun song!

God this song is so underrated. My mom introduced it to me when I was really really young. Hell, she’s always played this. I wish more people knew this song 😩🙌

This was a beautiful song when it first came out and it still is

The cure of Corona virus.. keep calm and listen to old songs..

Who is listening with me during this contingency to this wonderful songs in 2020?

My Mom used to sing along with this song on the radio. I really miss her!

Couldn’t have picked a better song for that MASTERPIECE of a episode😮‍💨

Anyone from twd the ones who live 🌙✨️

Everyone is talking 'bout the music at the 70's but nobody is saying how beautiful is the letter of the song

Qué hermosa canción, le agradezco a mi mamá los maravillosos temas que me puso a mí a y a mi hermano cuando era solo niño de 6 años ✨🎶❤️ ponía el DVD con videos de los 50's-80's

I was a teenager 13, now 61 and loved listening to Tony Orlando and Dawn. I was glued to the 📺 television watching the Tony Orlando and Dawn Show. I wish they would replay this show so that this generation would know how great we had it.

I was born August 1981 when MTV came out . Music was always my thing whether it was older or newer music today. I enjoy listening to this kind of music with my mother. Every time I listen to all the good Classics like this one and knock three times on the ceiling if you want me and all those other classics reminds me of my mother that passed away 20/20. May she rest in peace and I couldn't have asked for a better mother. I love all this music that touches your heart.

To the person who I once fell in love for for his beautiful soul, you will forever be in my heart. Thank God I have met a person like you in this lifetime..

I love this tune and the memories it holds for me.

This was my papas favourite song he passed away a few years ago and at his funeral my mum brought yellow ribbons to dedicate it to him xx 💗💗

The ones who live brought me here! 🙋🏻‍♀️

its sad cause this song will one day never ever be remembered in the future.

You do not need a lot if hits . You just need a MEGA HIT to forever take your place in pop rock History and my friends this was the definition of a MEGA HIT. I can only think what they thought after recording it....

My mum played this for me a few years ago and imedietly fell in love with it. Still love it to this day 😊

Love this song. Unique and such a soothing voice that I never get tired of listening to. Thanks to my father (my angel) who taught me about amazing music.
