brewer & shipley - yankee lady lyrics
[verse 1]
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 took up with a woman there
though i was still a kid
and i smile like the sun
to think of the loving that we did
[verse 2]
she rose each morning and went to work
and she kept me with her pay
i was making love all night
and playing guitar all+day
and i got apple cider and homemade bread
to make a man say grace
and clean linens on my bed
and a warm feet fireplace
[reprise]
whoa+oh, yankee lady so good to me
yankee lady just a memory
yankee lady so good to me
your memory that’s еnough for me
[verse 3]
an autumn walk on a country road
and a million flaming trees
i was feeling uneasy
cause thеre was winter in the breeze
and she said, “oh baby, look over there
the birds are southward bound
oh, baby, i’m so afraid
to lose the love that we’ve found.”
[reprise]
yeah, yankee lady so good to me
yankee lady just a memory
yankee lady so good to me
your memory that’s enough for me
[verse 4]
i don’t know what called to 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 when i see myself
i’m a stranger by my birth
the yankee lady’s memory
reminds me of my worth
[outro]
whoa+oh, yankee lady so good to me
yankee lady just a memory
yankee lady so good to me
your memory that’s enough for me
