Melanie Safka - Yankee Man CAPO: 3rd Fret INTRO: (2x) 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 CHORUS: F Yankee man so good to me Yankee man just a memory Yankee man so good to me The memory is enough for me INTERLUDE: An Autumn walk on a country road with a million flaming trees Well I was feeling uneasy lord 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" CHORUS: F Yankee man so good to me Yankee man just a memory Yankee man so good to me The memory is enough for me INTERLUDE: (2x) 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 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 OUTRO: (4x)

La chanson évoque les souvenirs d'une jeune femme ayant grandi dans les collines du Vermont. Elle raconte son histoire d'amour avec un homme adulte, soulignant les moments simples et heureux qu'ils ont partagés. Entre les nuits passées à s'aimer et les journées à jouer de la guitare, elle évoque aussi les activités quotidiennes comme la préparation de pain et de cidre. Ces souvenirs, bien que teintés de mélancolie face à l’éventualité de la perte, restent précieux et réconfortants. Le contexte de la chanson évoque une période de sa vie marquée par l’innocence et la découverte, contrastée par les réflexions sur le temps qui passe et les transformations inévitables. La nature et les saisons jouent également un rôle symbolique, rappelant la beauté fugace des moments vécus ensemble.
