"Put my gun down, the war is won
Fill my glass high, the time has come
I'm goin' back to the place that I love, Yellow River
Yellow River, Yellow River, is in my mind and in my eyes
Yellow River, Yellow River, is in my blood, it's the place I love..."
Fill my glass high, the time has come
I'm goin' back to the place that I love, Yellow River
Yellow River, Yellow River, is in my mind and in my eyes
Yellow River, Yellow River, is in my blood, it's the place I love..."
