Yankee Go Home Lyrics - Harlan Howard

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
