Jesse Winchester   Yankee Lady  written by Jesse Winchester 


A
I lived with the decent folks 
       D              A
In the hills of old Vermont 
A
Where what you do all day 
  E
Depends on what you want 
      A
And I took up with a woman there 
D                   A
Though I was still a kid 
A
And I smile like the sun 
                    E              A
To think of all the loving that we did 
A
She rose each morning and went off to work 
        D                 A
And she kept me with her pay 
A
I was making sweet love all night E A And playing this old guitar all day A And I got apple cider and homemade bread D A That would make a man kneel down he would say grace A And clean linens on our bed E A And a warm feet fire place D A Yankee lady so good to me E A Yankee lady just a memory D A Yankee lady so good to me E A Your memories gonna have to do for me A An autumn walk on a old country road D A With a million flaming trees A I was feeling a little uneasy E Cause there was winter chill in the breeze A And she said, "Oh Jesse, look over there, D A I see birds are they are all southward bound A Oh Jesse, I'm so afraid E A We are going to lose the love that we've found D A Yankee lady so good to me E A Yankee lady just a memory D A Yankee lady so good to me E A Your memories gonna have to do for me A I don't know what called to me D A But I know that I plain had to go A I left that little old Vermont town E To live down in sunny Mexico A And now when I can see myself D A As a stranger by my birth A The Yankee lady's old memory E A To Remind me of my worth D A Yankee lady so good to me E A Yankee lady just a memory D A Yankee lady so good to me E A Your memories gonna have to do for me >From Jesse Winchester "Jesse Winchester"
