A man, after 3 years of serving his sentence in jail sent a mail to his woman asking if she still wants him. One way to find out if he is still welcome, he instructed his woman to tie a yellow ribbon around their old oak tree. On the day the man was set free and went home by a bus found out that a hundred yellow ribbons were tied to their old tree which means that he is very much welcome.

Actually a man was freed from jail after killing someone and during his captive life his wife did't contact him once. But he did't lose hope and sent letters to his wife throughout his captivity. At last for confirmation he sent his wife a letter comprising the fact that he''ll be visiting his village and will come to his house if his wife ties up a yellow ribbon around the old oak tree. So he started his journey by asking a lift from a bus and he told his entire story to the driver. After reaching at his destination he saw the entire area's trees are tied with a yellow ribbon implying the villagers too greeted him gladly. That bus driver told this story to one of his friends who was also a singer. He composed this song which became famous.

Yes, just like the post under this one said. We always learned every rosh hashanah we have to repent. We learnt this song (in a story) since we were kids!!

This is just a mashal to life, in the beginning of the year we all have to repent and if we feel bad and repent g-d will forgive us.

Tying a yellow ribbon is for coming home from war.

It means that a guy has done something bad or he hurt the one he loves and the relationship was on the rocks for 3 years... Being in prison or beeing free does not necessarily be interpreted literally... So after 3 years, the guy realizes that he has to do a brave move to win back the one he loves without the assurance that he will succeed... Lucky for him he did... Succeed i mean...

Funny. I always thought this was a "returning from war" song until a few minutes ago when i was singing the song to myself and realized just from the first verse that it was a prison song. Even asked a friend what the songs meaning is and he said immediately, it's about coming home from war.
How did this misunderstanding come about?

I take it that he's coming home from prison and still wants to know if he's wanted home

He messed up, big time. The mess up not only effected him, but all those who were a part of his life. He had to pay for his mess up, but he realizes not everyone was willing to wait for him to learn his "life lessons". He wants to know if she forgives him, still loves him and wants to keep him in her life.
