She Wore a Yellow Ribbon lyrics

Like all football songs old and new they are ripped off from a popular song and ‘she wore a yellow ribbon’ comes from a 1949 John Wayne’s film of the same name. It become a song that was sung in different army regiments as well as other football clubs, West Ham and Villa have a claret version, but it was The Arsenal that made the song our own with 3 cup finals in a row 1978/79/80.

What did she wear ??
She wore, she wore,
She wore a yellow ribbon,
She wore a yellow ribbon,
In the merry month of May!
And when, I asked,
Oh why she wore her ribbon,
She said it’s for The Arsenal,
And we’re going to Wembley!
Wembley,
Wembley,
We’re the famous Arsenal,
And we’re going to Wembley!

This website was formed in 2007 and named after the song and in 2011 when the club ran the competition ‘build a banner’ a ‘she wore a yellow ribbon’ banner was made and sits proudly in the North East corner of the ground.
