Yankee Lady Lyrics - Tim Hardin

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 all the loving that we did 

She rose each morning and went off to work 

And she kept me with her pay 

I was making sweet love all night 

And playing this old guitar all day 

And I got apple cider and homemade bread 

That would make a man kneel down he would say grace 

And clean linens on our 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 memories gonna have to do for me 

An autumn walk on a old country road 

With a million flaming trees 

I was feeling a little uneasy 

Cause there was winter chill in the breeze 

And she said, "Oh Jesse, look over there, 

I see birds are they are all southward bound 

Oh Jesse, I'm so afraid 

We are going 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 memories gonna have to do for me 

I don't know what called to me 

But I know that I plain had to go 

I left that little old Vermont town 

To live down in sunny Mexico 

And now when I can see myself 

As a stranger by my birth 

The Yankee lady's old memory 

To Remind me of my worth 

Yankee lady so good to me 

Yankee lady just a memory 

Yankee lady so good to me 

Your memories gonna have to do for me
