Same time, same place:

Around her neck 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 her trooper who was far, far away.

Chorus

Far away, far away, she wore it for her trooper who was far far away.

Around the block she pushed a baby carriage
She pushed it in the springtime and in the month of May
And if you asked her why the hell she pushed it
She pushed it for her troop who was far, far away.

Behind the door her father kept a shotgun
He kept it in the springtime and in the month of May
And if you asked him why the hell he kept it
He kept it for her trooper who was far far away.
