Tim Hardin – Yankee Lady Lyrics
Artist: Tim Hardin
Song: Yankee Lady
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, I took up with a woman there
Though I was still a kid
And I smile like the sun to think
Of the lovin’-lovin’ that we did
She rose each morning and went to work
She kept me with her pay
I was making love all night
And playing guitar all day
Got me apple cider and homemade bread
To make a man say grace
And clean linens on my bed
And a warm feet fireplace
Yankee Lady, so good to me
Yankee Lady, just a memory
Yankee Lady so good to me
A memory is enough for me
An autumn walk on a country road
And a million flamin’ trees
I was feelin’ uneasy
‘Cause there was winter in the breeze
And she said
“Oh, Timmy, look over there
The birds are southward bound”
And oh, Jesus, I’m so afraid
To lose the love we found
Yankee Lady, so good to me
Yankee Lady, just a memory
Yankee Lady, so good to me, me
Your memory is enough for me
I don’t know what called to me
But I know that I had to go
And I left that Vermont town
Then went to Mexico
And now, and now when I see myself
As a stranger by my birth
The Yankee Lady’s memory
Reminds me of my worth
Yankee Lady, so good to me
Yankee Lady, just a memory
Yankee Lady, so good to me, me
Your memory is enough for me
