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
