Yankee Man Lyrics

CAPO: 3rd Fret
INTRO: C F G C (2x)
I've 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 full grown man, though I was still a kid
And I smile like the sun to think of the loving that we did
He rose each morning and went to work and he kept me with his pay
Well, I was making love all night and playing guitar all day
And I made apple cider and home-made bread, to make the man say grace
In a house that he built by hand, with a warm feet fireplace
CHORUS: F
Yankee man so good to me
Yankee man just a memory
Yankee man so good to me
The memory is enough for me
INTERLUDE: C F G C
An Autumn walk on a country road with a million flaming trees
Well I was feeling uneasy, lord, there was Winter in the breeze
And he said, "Oh baby, look over there, the birds are southward bound
Oh baby, I am so afraid to lose the love we found"
CHORUS: F
Yankee man so good to me
Yankee man just a memory
Yankee man so good to me
The memory is enough for me
INTERLUDE: C F G C (2x)
I've 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 full grown man, though I was still a kid
And I smile like the sun to think of the loving that we did
And I smile like the sun to think of the loving that we did
And I smile like the sun to think of the loving that we did
OUTRO: C F G C (4x)
