SHE WORE A YELLOW RIBBON

NO ART SHOW WOULD BE COMPLETE WITHOUT JOHN WAYNE AND THE BLUE UNIFORMS AND YELLOW NECK SCARFS OF THE HORSE TROOPERS  SINGING SHE WORE A YELLOW RIBBON AS THEY RODE OFF INTO AMERICAN FRONTEER  COUNTRY.

THE FILM IS "SHE WORE A YELLOW RIBBON " THE TROOPERS SONG BY THE SAME NAME  BOTH FILM AND THE TROOPERS SINGING THE SONG FORM PART OF ART-WORK

WHEN COMPLETE ADD TO THIS JOHN WAYNE AND YOU HAVE THE PERFECT CHEMISTRY FOR A MASTERPIECE .FROM AN ART POINT OF VEW THE BEST WAY OF REPRESENTING JOHN WAYNE IS IN THE FILM .THE BEST WAY OF CAPTURING THE SPIRIT OF THE TIMES THE FILM IS SET  IS SURELY THE TROOPERS SONG .

             "THE  GIRL I LEFT BEHIND."

round her neck she wore a yellow ribbon

she wore it winter and in the merry month of May

when i asked her -why the yellow ribbon

she said its for my lover far far away

 

far away, far away, far away,she said-its for my lover far away 

far away,far away,far away far away

she said its for my lover far far away.

​

when at firts she met winesome Johnny

he was't sure her heart was pure her eyes

were far too bold

so round her neck she wore a yellow ribbon 

cause it mached her hair of gold

I'a version of the song is sung in the film and really captures the spirit of the time and the men as they ride out of the fort.

 and why the troopers  image is central to this art-work.
