Yankee Man - Melanie

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

Yankee man so good to me

Yankee man just a memory

Yankee man so good to me

The memory is enough for me

An Autumn walk on a country road with a million flaming trees

Well I was feeling uneasy, 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»

Yankee man so good to me

Yankee man just a memory

Yankee man so good to me

The memory is enough for me

I’ve lived with the decent folk 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
