Текст пісні
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 a sun to think of the lovin' that we did
She rolled each morning and went to work
And she kept me with her pay
I was makin' love all night and playin' 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 feed fireplace
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
An autumn walk on a country road and a million flaming trees
I was feelin' uneasy 'cause there 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 found"
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
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
And Yankee lady's memory reminds me of my worth
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
