    Credits: Words and Music by David Massey and Zan McLeod

    Lyrics
    Pretty as a mountain morning
    Jessi Lynch was bound to roam
    Our little town couldn’t hold her any more

    Just seventeen that early spring
    She first signed up to serve
    Nineteen the day she shipped off for the war

    March twenty-third they told us
    She was missing and likely dead
    So we all went down to pray at the dry goods store

    So tie those yellow ribbons, cause our Jessi’s gonna be OK
    A miracle can happen any day
    We’re Christians here in Palestine, out West Virginia way
    And the good Lord shines his light on those who pray

    There was no earthly reason
    To believe she had survived
    But her momma swore she’d hold that girl again

    So we kept our vigil, night and day
    Yellow ribbons everywhere
    And our faith held up when hope was running thin

    In that Iraqi sand a good Muslim man
    Was afraid for his family
    But he risked it all for Jessi in the end

    So tie those yellow ribbons, cause our Jessi’s gonna be OK
    A miracle can happen any day
    We’re Christians here in Palestine, out West Virginia way
    And the good Lord shines his light on those who pray

    We don’t spend too much time
    on politics round here
    Foreign policy just ain’t our cup of tea

    But we know good from evil
    and Saddam is a wicked man
    So we’re over there to set his people free

    On April first they rescued her
    Led by that Muslim man
    There’s a child of God in everyone, you see
    Yeah, there’s a child of God in everyone you see

    We ran out of yellow ribbons, but our Jessi’s gonna be OK
    She’s hurt but she’ll heal up just fine they say
    We’re Christians here in Palestine, out West Virginia way
    And the good Lord shined his light on us today
    Yeah, the good Lord shined his light on us today
