Lyrics for Song: Yankee Go Home
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Jan Howard



YANKEE GO HOME

WITH WYNN STEWART

Writer Harlan Howard



(Jan) Yankee go home, you'll never love me

I know you're just homesick and alone

Go on back to Tennessee

To your pretty bride to be

You don't love me, So Yankee go home

(Wynn) Yankee go home

Those words still haunt me

For I told her she was right and walked away

But now that I'm back home I find

I just can't get her off my mind

For each night in dreams I always hear her saying

(Jan) You don't me love, so Yankee go home

Yankee go home, you'll never love me

Your heart is miles away across the phone

I love you with all my heart

But the time has come to part

You don't love me, so Yankee go home

(Wynn) Yankee go home, she stood there crying

And to my shame I turned and walked away

But now I'm going back across the sea

Cause she's the only girl for me

And when we're wed, she never more will say

(Jan) You don't love me, so Yankee go home
