Yankee Lady (Live At The Bijou Cafe, Philadelphia, May 26, 1977) - Jesse Winchester[00:00:00]
I lived with the decent folks[00:00:15]
In the hills of old Vermont[00:00:20]
Where what you do all day[00:00:27]
That depends on what you want[00:00:32]
And I took up with a woman there[00:00:37]
Though I was still a kid[00:00:44]
And I smile like the sun[00:00:52]
To think of all the loving that we did[00:00:54]
She rose each morning and went off to work[00:01:07]
And she kept me with her pay[00:01:13]
I was making sweet love all night[00:01:19]
And playing this old guitar all day[00:01:24]
And apple cider and homemade bread word[00:01:30]
That would make a man kneel down he would say[00:01:35]
Grace[00:01:38]
And clean linens on our bed[00:01:42]
And a warm feet fire place[00:01:48]
Yankee lady so good to me[00:01:58]
Yankee lady just a memory[00:02:03]
Yankee lady you was so good to me[00:02:10]
Your memories gonna have to do for me[00:02:15]
An autumn walk on a old country road[00:02:25]
With a million flaming trees[00:02:30]
I was feeling a little uneasy[00:02:36]
Because there was winter some chilln a breeze[00:02:40]
And she said oh while look Jesse look over there[00:02:46]
I see birds are they are all southward bound[00:02:53]
Oh Jesse I'm so afraid[00:03:00]
We are going to lose all this love that we've found[00:03:04]
Yankee lady so good to me[00:03:15]
Yankee lady just a memory[00:03:21]
Yankee lady you was so good to me[00:03:27]
Your memories gonna have to do for me[00:03:33]
I don't know just what called to me[00:04:08]
But I know that I plain had to go[00:04:13]
And I left that little Vermont town[00:04:20]
To live down in sunny mexico[00:04:25]
And now when I can see my own self[00:04:32]
As a stranger by my birth[00:04:37]
Whit the yankee lady's old memory[00:04:43]
To remind me of my worth[00:04:48]
Yankee lady so good to me[00:04:58]
Yankee lady just a memory[00:05:04]
Yankee lady you was so good to me darling[00:05:10]
Your memories gonna have to do for me[00:05:16]
