I lived with the decent folks

In the hills of old Vermont

Where what you do all day

Depends on what you want

And I took up with a woman there

And I smile like the sun

To think of all the loving that we did

She rose each morning and went to work

And she kept me with her pay

I was making sweet love all night

And playing guitar all day

And I got apple cider and homemade bread

And clean linens on my bed

An autumn walk on a country road
