Yankee Lady (LP版) - Jesse Winchester[00:00:00]
I lived with the decent folks[00:00:11]
In the hills of old Vermont[00:00:13]
Where what you do all day[00:00:19]
Depends on what you want[00:00:22]
And I took up with a woman there[00:00:26]
Though I was still a kid[00:00:31]
And I smile like the sun[00:00:36]
To think of the loving that we did[00:00:39]
She rose each morning and went to work[00:00:47]
And she kept me with her pay[00:00:50]
I was making sweet love all night[00:00:56]
And playing guitar all day[00:00:59]
And I got apple cider and homemade bread[00:01:03]
To make a man say grace[00:01:09]
And clean linens on my bed[00:01:13]
And a warm feet fire place[00:01:18]
Yankee lady so good to me[00:01:25]
Yankee lady just a memory[00:01:30]
Yankee lady you are so good to me[00:01:34]
Your memory that's enough for me[00:01:39]
An autumn walk on a country road[00:01:46]
And a million flaming trees[00:01:49]
I was feeling uneasy[00:01:53]
Cause there was winter in the breeze[00:01:58]
And she said Oh Jesse look over there[00:02:02]
The birds are southward bound[00:02:08]
Oh Jesse I'm so afraid[00:02:13]
To lose the love that we've found[00:02:16]
Yankee lady so good to me[00:02:24]
Yankee lady just a memory[00:02:28]
Yankee lady so good to me[00:02:31]
Your memory that's enough for me[00:02:37]
I don't know what called to me[00:02:54]
But I know that I had to go[00:02:57]
I left that Vermont town[00:03:02]
With a lift to Mexico[00:03:06]
And now when I see myself[00:03:08]
As a stranger by my birth[00:03:15]
The Yankee lady's memory[00:03:20]
Reminds me of my worth[00:03:24]
Yankee lady so good to me[00:03:32]
Yankee lady just a memory[00:03:36]
Yankee lady so good to me[00:03:40]
Your memory that's enough for me[00:03:45]
