Cover of a song recorded by Tony Orlando and Dawn, written by Irwin Levine and L. Russell Brown. It was a worldwide hit for the group in 1973, reaching the top 10 in ten countries, in eight of which it topped the charts. It was the top-selling single in 1973 in both the US and UK.
The song is told from the point of view of someone who has "done his time" in the military or a prisoner-of-war camp ("I'm really still in prison and my love, she holds the key") but is uncertain if he will be welcomed home.
He writes to his love, asking her to tie a yellow ribbon around the "ole oak tree" in front of the house (which the bus will pass by) if she wants him to return to her life; if he does not see such a ribbon, he will remain on the bus (taking that to mean he is unwelcome) and understand her reasons ("put the blame on me"). He asks the bus driver to check, fearful of not seeing anything.
To his amazement, the entire bus cheers the response – there are 100 yellow ribbons around the tree, a sign he is more than welcome.
