00:00He lived with a decent folk in the hills of old Vermont
00:20Where what you do all day depends on what you want
00:28He met up with a woman there, though he was just a kid
00:35I smile like the sun to think of the lovin' that we did
00:42He said, Yankee Lady, you're good to me
00:47Yankee Lady, you're a memory
00:51Yankee Lady, you're good to me
00:55You're a memory that's enough for me
01:05I went to work in the morning and I kept him with my pain
01:13We were makin' love all night and playin' guitars all day
01:20He got apple cider and homemade bread to make a man say grace
01:29Clean linen on our bed and a warm, fit fireplace
01:36He said, Yankee Lady, you're good to me
01:41Yankee Lady, you're a memory
01:45Yankee Lady, you're good to me
01:49You're a memory that's enough for me
01:59Autumn walks on a country road and a million flamin' trees
02:07I was feelin' uneasy cause there was winter in the breeze
02:13And I said, oh Jesse, look over there
02:18The birds are southward bound
02:22Oh Jesse, I'm so afraid to lose the love we found
02:29He said, Yankee Lady, you're good to me
02:34Yankee Lady, you're a memory
02:38Yankee Lady, you're good to me
02:42You're a memory that's enough for me
02:52I don't know what called to him but I knew he had to go
03:00He left that Vermont town with a ride to New Mexico
03:08Now whenever he finds himself a stranger to his birth
03:15My Yankee Lady memory will remind him of his worth
03:22He'll say, Yankee Lady, you're good to me
03:27Yankee Lady, you're a memory
03:31Yankee Lady, you're good to me
03:35You're a memory that's enough for me
03:39Yankee Lady, you're good to me
03:43Yankee Lady, you're a memory
03:47Yankee Lady, you're good to me
03:51You're a memory that's enough for me
04:06I Came Upon a Child of God
04:10I came upon a child of God
04:14He was walking along the road
04:18I asked him, where are you going?
04:22This he told me
04:26Well, I'm going on down to Yasca's farm
04:31To join in a rock and roll band
04:35Gonna camp out on the land
04:39Try to get my soul free
04:43We are stardust
04:47We are golden
04:51We've got to get ourselves
04:55To the garden
05:04Now can I walk beside you?
05:08I have come here to lose the smoke
05:12And I feel like a cog in something turning
05:20Well, and maybe it's a time of year
05:24Or maybe it's a time of man
05:28But I don't know who I am
05:32Life is for learning
05:36We are stardust
05:40We are golden
05:45We've got to get ourselves
05:49To the garden
05:58By the time we got to Woodstock
06:02We were half a million strong
06:06Everywhere there was song and celebration
06:14And I dreamed I saw the bombers
06:18Fighting shotgun in the sky
06:22They were turning into butterflies
06:26Above all nations
06:30We are stardust
06:35We are golden
06:39We've got to get ourselves
06:43Back to the garden
06:51We are stardust
06:56Million-year-old carbon
07:00We are golden
07:05Caught in the devil's bargain
07:08And we've got to get ourselves
07:13Back to the garden
07:36Well, it's many songs I've written
07:40Of lovers I have known
07:44In present and in past
07:48Some for just a moment
07:52And others forever last
07:56In my mind
08:00In my mind
08:04Of all the men I've known
08:08And I've known quite a few
08:12There's no one in my life
08:16Comes to me like you
08:20Talking, reaching, touching
08:24In my mind
08:28In my mind
08:32When I think of things that rule my soul
08:37Things that are beyond control
08:41I know in my mind there is you
08:57Someone said that walls
09:01Do not a prism make
09:05Miles don't make the distance
09:08There's a love that's fake
09:12Nothing can tear your love from my mind
09:20From my mind
09:25Ooh...
09:37Ooh...
09:55I'll go on writing songs
10:00Of lovers I have known
10:05When I write the last song
10:08I'll write it all alone
10:12This song is your song
10:16In my mind
10:21In my mind
10:25In my mind
10:29In my mind
10:34guitar solo
10:40playing in bright rhythm
10:54I'm gonna walk
10:55all across this land
10:57I ain't building my castles
10:59on sinking sand anymore
11:03And I feel like a bird
11:05has been given his wings
11:07I'm gonna fly to the sun
11:08on the songs I sing
11:10Watch me soar
11:13When the morning comes
11:14I'm gonna rise to greet it
11:16Throw my things in a bag
11:17and I'll hit the street
11:19And don't hold these chains
11:21on me anymore
11:25Cause I feel high
11:31on you
11:32I feel high
11:37on you
11:38High on you
11:41High on you
11:44There have been years of long
11:46and years of lean
11:48And I've been lost somewhere
11:50in between feeling small
11:54And the person I've known
11:55for 33 years
11:57has had some laughs
11:59but had more tears
12:00and that ain't all
12:03I've had doors slammed
12:05and feelings jammed
12:06but now I feel like
12:08I can take the devil's hand
12:10and lead him back to hell
12:12feeling small
12:15Cause I feel high
12:21on you
12:22I feel high
12:27on you
12:28High on you
12:31High on you
12:35Loneliness is just a word to me
12:38And being alone
12:39don't mean you're free
12:41Hear me now
12:44Dylan says love
12:45is just a four-letter word
12:47And there ain't much loving
12:50in the words I've heard anyhow
12:54But the sun is rising
12:55on a new today

20:07I don't want your lonely mansion
20:10With a tear in every room
20:12All I want's a love you promised
20:15Beneath a haloed moon
20:18But you think I should be happy
20:21With your money and your name
20:24Then hide myself in sorrow
20:26While you play your cheatin' game
20:30Silver threads and golden needles
20:32Cannot mend this heart of mine
20:35And I dare not drown my sorrow
20:38In the warm glow of your wine
20:43You can't buy my love with money
20:45Cause I never was that kind
20:48Silver threads and golden needles
20:50Cannot mend this heart of mine

21:41Silver threads and golden needles
21:44Cannot mend this heart of mine
22:07When I first met the man
22:09He was drivin' down the road
22:12Everything he owned was in his car
22:17Picked me up and asked me
22:19Where it was that I was headed
22:22Said I didn't know but it was far
22:30Drove along the highway
22:32Sharing lives we'd left behind
22:35Dreamin' of the things we had inside
22:40Came upon a broken down old house
22:42With said hotel
22:44And he asked me if I'd care to spend the night
22:49The gentleman from Mississippi
22:51Far away from home
22:54Lookin' for a farm so green and shady
22:58The gentleman from Mississippi
23:01Left me here alone
23:03Asked me if I'd be his Yankee lady
23:08Mmm
23:11Spent the night together
23:13Tradin' thoughts and makin' love
23:16Knew that it was just a one night stand
23:21Still you know the pleasure then
23:23Is sometimes just as good
23:25Especially when you're with a gentleman
23:30The gentleman from Mississippi
23:33Far away from home
23:35Lookin' for a farm so green and shady
23:39The gentleman from Mississippi
23:42Left me here alone
23:44Asked me if I'd be his Yankee lady
23:49Mmm
23:53Break of day we started down that highway
23:56Headed north
23:58Drove into a town where I could stay
24:02He said that he'd come back and tell me
24:05If he'd found his dreams
24:07Then the gentleman drove off into the day
24:12The gentleman from Mississippi
24:14Far away from home
24:16Lookin' for a farm so green and shady
24:21The gentleman from Mississippi
24:23Left me here alone
24:26Asked me if I'd be his Yankee lady
24:30The gentleman from Mississippi
24:33Far away from home
24:35Lookin' for a farm so green and shady
24:39The gentleman from Mississippi
24:42Left me here alone
24:44I told him I would be
24:48His Yankee lady
25:01I Met a Man
25:13I met a man
25:15He had a fiddle in his hand
25:17He made that fiddle laugh
25:19He made that fiddle cry
25:21But most of all
25:22He made that fiddle dance
25:27I met a man
25:29He had a fiddle in his hand
25:31And people would come from far and wide
25:33Just to hear him play
25:35His fiddle would dance
25:36And he would sing
25:37And we would clap and sing
25:43I met a man
25:45He had a fiddle in his hand
25:47He made that fiddle laugh
25:49He made that fiddle cry
25:51But most of all
25:52He made that fiddle dance
25:58I wrote a song
26:00About a Louisiana man
26:02When I see him sing
26:03With his eyes shut tight
26:04I could listen to him play all night
26:06The man with the fiddle
26:07Is a Louisiana man
26:14He wrote a song
26:16About his mama and his pa
26:18About the days when they were small
26:20He didn't have no food at all
26:22His papa was a Louisiana man
26:30Someday I'm gonna go
26:32To the Louisiana bio
26:34And talk to the Cajun people
26:36And listen to what they say
26:38So I can understand
26:39That Louisiana man
26:47I met a man
26:49He had a fiddle in his hand
26:51He made that fiddle laugh
26:53He made that fiddle cry
26:55But most of all
26:56He made that fiddle dance
27:01And the man with the fiddle
27:02Is a Louisiana man
