Yankee Lady |
I lived with the decent folks |
In the hills of old Vermont |
Where what you do all day |
Depends on what you want |
And I took up with a woman there |
Though I was still a kid |
And I smile like the sun |
To think of the loving that we did |
She rose each morning and went to work |
And she kept me with her pay |
I was making love all night |
And playing guitar all day |
And I got apple cider and homemade bread |
To make a man say grace |
And clean linens on my bed |
And a warm feet fire place |
Yankee lady so good to me, |
Yankee lady just a memory |
Yankee lady so good to me, |
Your memory that’s enough for me An autumn walk on a country road |
And a million flaming trees |
I was feeling uneasy |
Cause there was winter in the breeze |
And she said, «Oh Jesse, look over there, |
The birds are southward bound |
Oh Jesse, I’m so afraid |
To lose the love that we’ve found.» |
Yankee lady so good to me, |
Yankee lady just a memory |
Yankee lady so good to me, |
Your memory that’s enough for me I don’t know what called to me But I know that I had to go |
I left that Vermont town |
With a lift to Mexico |
And now when I see myself |
As a stranger by my birth |
The Yankee lady’s memory |
Reminds me of my worth |
Yankee lady so good to me, |
Yankee lady just a memory |
Yankee lady so good to me, |
Your memory that’s enough for me |
