Lyrics

Thirteen miles up Yankee Fork
Sittin' up at Sunbeam Dam
One of the prettiest spots in Idaho
Couple hundred thousand acres of green land
Gotta find me a woman to keep me warm
It gets cold in the wintertime
Thirteen miles up Yankee Fork in Idaho
She don't gotta be a pretty one
She don't even gotta be too bright
Bake me bread in the mornin' time
Keep me warm treat me right at night
I'll chop the wood
Do the huntin'
And I'll give her just a lil extra somethin'
She spend the winter with me in Idaho
A mountain woman is hard to find
She can't be packin' no city mind
It's just her man and the mountain air
Gotta show eachother they care
Winter lasted at least four months without goin' anywhere
It can't get together for that short time
You're in for a lotta despair
Thirteen miles up the Yankee Fork
Saw her sittin' on the Sunbeam Dam
One of the prettiest gals in Idaho
Told her all about my cabin and land
Then I dropped a hint about needin' a woman
To keep me warm in the wintertime
Thirteen miles up Yankee Fork in Idaho
She said
'Hell she didn't care
About my greasy beard and hair'
Said she liked to bake in the morning
But then she said
"Well man, I gotta warn ya cause
I've been lookin' for a man to keep me warm in the winter
Sometime someplace somewhere in Idaho"
I said "Ma'am how far do you plan to really go?"
She said "Thirteen miles up the Yankee Fork in Idaho"
Oh thirteen miles up the Yankee Fork in Idaho
