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 lovin' that we did She rose each morning and went to work And she kept me with her pay I was makin' love all night And playin' guitar all day And I got me apple cider and home made bread To make a man say grace And clean linens on my bed and a warm feet fireplace Ohh, Yankee lady so good to me Yankee lady just a memory Yankee lady so good to me Your memory that's enough for me 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 baby look over there The birds are southward bound Oh baby I'm so afraid to lose the love that we found Yeah, Yankee lady so go 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 come over me But I know that I had to go I left that Vermont town with a lift to Mexico And now, and now when I see myself I'm a stranger by my birth And Yankee lady's memory Reminds me of my word Ohhh, Yankee lady so good to me Yankee lady just a memory Yankee lady so good to me Your memory that's enough for me
