Yankee Man Songtext
von Melanie

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

He rose each morning and went to work
And he kept me with his pay
I was making love all night
And playing guitar all day
And I made apple cider and homemade bread
To make the man say grace
In a house that he built by hand
With a warm peat fireplace


Yankee man so good to me
Yankee man just a memory
Yankee man so good to me
Your memory is enough for me

An autumn walk on a country road
With a million flaming trees
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'm so afraid
To lose the love we′ve found"

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
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

Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
