It was the central theme of the popular song "Tie a Yellow Ribbon 'Round the Ole Oak Tree", Written by Irwin Levine and L. Russell Brown and recorded by Tony Orlando and Dawn among many others, as the sign a released convict requested from his wife or lover, to indicate that she still wanted him and that he would therefore be welcome to return home

Readers Digest July/August 2015, Page 116, A story by Pete Hamill from the New York Post tells the story of the guy that got out of prison in New York and was on his way home to Brunswick, GA and writes his wife and ask her if she will let him come home. If the answer is yes, then tie a yellow handkerchief around the old oak tree. Could this story possibly be the idea for the song "Tie a yellow ribbon around the old oak tree"? Article first appeared in the January 1972 issue of Reader's Digest.
