Harlan Howard Lyrics

Yankee Go Home

YANKEE GO HOME
RECORDED BY WYNN STEWART AND JAN HOWARD
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
