She Wore A Yellow Ribbon Chant Lyrics
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.

What Is The History of the “She Wore A Yellow Ribbon Chant”?
A well-known chant amongst supporters of the Arsenal Football Club is the “She Wore a Yellow Ribbon” chant. The song “She Wore a Yellow Ribbon,” was composed in 1949 and made famous by the John Wayne-starring movie “She Wore a Yellow Ribbon” where the Andrews Sisters performed the song. The song then served as the inspiration for the Arsenal chant, Arsenal supporters then adapted the song’s lyrics to create a chant for the club.
