Yankee Man

I've 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 full grown man

though I was still a kid

And I smile like the sun

to think of the loving that we did

He rose each morning and went to work

and he kept me with his pay

Well I was making love all night

and playing guitar all day

And I made apple cider and home-made bread

to make the man say grace

In a house that he built by hand

With a warm feet fireplace

Yankee man so good to me

Yankee man just a memory

Yankee man so good to me

The memory is enough for me

An Autumn walk on a country road

with a million flaming trees

Well I was feeling uneasy,

there was winter in the breeze

And he said: "Oh baby look over there

the birds are southward bound

Oh baby I am so afraid

to lose the love we found"

Yankee man so good to me

Yankee man just a memory

Yankee man so good to me

The memory is enough for me

I've lived with the decent folk

in the hills of old Vermont

Where what you do all day

depends on what you want

And I took up with a full grown man

though I was still a kid

And I smile like the sun

to think of the loving that we did

And I smile like the sun

to think of the loving that we did

And I smile like the sun

to think of the loving that we did
