I live with a decent folk
in the hills of Old Vermont
Well, what you do all day
depend s on what you are
And I, I took up with a woman there,
oh, I was still a kid
And I smile like the sun
to think of the lovin' that we did
Yankee lady so good to me
Yankee lady just a memory
Naked lady so good to me
Your memory, that's enough for me
She rose each morning and went to work
She kept me with her face
I was making love all night
And playing guitar all day
And I got me apple cider
and homemade bread
To make a man say grace
And clean linens on my bed
And a warm -veal fireplace
Thank you, lady, so good to me
Yankee lady, just a memory
Yankee lady, so good to me
Your memory,
that's enough for me
Yankie lady, so good to me
Yankie lady, just a memory
Yankie lady, so good to me
Your memory, that's enough for me
I don't know what called to me,
but I know that I had to go
I left that Vermont town
with a lift to Mexico
And now, now when I see myself
a stranger by my birth
Yankee
Lady's memory
remind s me of my work
Yankee
Lady's so good to me
Yankee
Lady's just a memory
Yankee
Lady's so good to me
Your memory,
that's enough for me
Thank you, lady, so good to me
Thank you, lady, just a memory
Thank you, lady, so good to me
Your memory,
that's enough for me
Thank you.
