Try instead, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon.

Around her neck
she wore a yellow ribbon.
She wore it in December
and in the month of May.
And if you asked her,
"Why the decoration?"
She said 'twas for her lover
who was far, far away.

Far away, far away;
She said 'twas for her lover
who was far, far away.

Above a grave
she scattered yellow flowers.
She brought them in December
and in the month of May.
And if you asked her
why she brought them thither,
She said 'twas for her soldier
who was far, far away.

Far away, far away;
She brought them for her soldier
who was far, far away
