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, I took up with a woman there, though I was still a kid
And I smile like the sun to think of the lovin' that we did
She rose 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 linen on my bed and a warm sweet fireplace
A Yankee lady so good to me
A Yankee lady just a memory
A Yankee lady so good to me
Your memory that's enough for me
An autumn walk on a country road, a million flamin' trees
I was feelin' uneasy 'cause there was winter in the breeze
And she said, "Oh, Stoney, look over
There, the birds are southward bound
Oh, Stoney, I'm so afraid to lose the love that we found"
A Yankee lady so good to me
A Yankee lady just a memory
A Yankee lady so good to me
Your memory that's enough for me
I don't know what called to me, but I knew I had to go
And I left that Vermont town with a lift to Mexico
And Lord, Lord, when I see myself, I's a stranger at my birth
And Yankee lady's memories reminds me of my worth
A Yankee lady so good to me
A Yankee lady just a memory
A Yankee lady so good to me
Your memory that's enough for me
A Yankee lady so good to me
A Yankee lady just a memory
A Yankee lady so good to me
Your memory that's enough for me
(Oh, Stoney, what's the way?)
The birds are southward bound
