Yankee Dime

After the rain she appeared like a rainbow
skirt was pulled high, neckline was so low
I stared. All I could do was just stare

Her name was Claire and she wore a bandanna
She was down for the Summer but lived in Indiana
Up there. She lived somewhere up there
......................................She said
"Pretty boy won't you give me your time
and very soon you'll be mine, all mine
I'll give you everything I have
but what you really want is my Yankee Dime."

We spent our morning just lightly tripping
hot afternoons were for skinny dipping
I stared. All I could do was just stare

One sunny day we got somewhat wasted
decided to discover just how she tasted
Down there to see how she tasted
down there.
................................ She said
"Pretty boy won't you lay with me
for what you are doing I will pay a fee
Feeling this good might be a crime
But I will pay you a Yankee Dime.

For the next few weeks we sought the greatest pleasure
committed acts I knew I would treasure
I cared. I gave her my all and just cared
The days became shorter the nights grew cooler
I became aware that I would soon lose her
Back there she had to go back there.

...................................She said
"Pretty boy don't you look so sad.
You are the best I've ever had
Until I think of a word that rhymes
I'm giving you all of my Yankee dimes.
Now when I’m alone in the bright sunshine
I remember how I earned those Yankee dimes

BLONG,

A story well told. Reminded me of Jerry Jeff Walker's story-telling songs...

The BIAB tracks works well for it and the vocal fits.

I was not familiar with the term "Yankee Dimes" - had to look it up - never heard it used before...

Interesting.

An interesting vocabulary is one of the few benefits of growing up in South Alabama and Georgia. We considered our cousins from Birmingham to be Northerners. Don't get me started on carpetbaggers or scalawags.

I also had to look up Yankee Dime.

Excellent song, great vocal supported by a great backing track

Two thumbs up


Today I bought a doughnut without the sprinkles. Diets are hard!

Interesting song, BLONG... I know all about Yankee dimes... Kisses from my Grandma, but never from a lover... We called that something else.

You continually write interesting songs, and this is no exception.

I enjoyed the listen!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
