Yankee Bank by James LeBlanc
Yankee Bank
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Verse]
G Em
I had a farm down in
C Em
Jouko County
G Em
Sixty acres
C D
Of fertile ground
G Em
A clapboard cabin up on
C Em
Spencer Mountain
G Em
‘Til them Yankee red-legs
C G
Burned it down
[Verse]
G Em
I came back home after
C Em
Four years of fightin’
G Em
In the summer of
C D
Sixty-five
G Em
And all I found was
C Em
A pile of ashes
G Em
And not one banny rooster
C G
Left alive
[Chorus]
G
So I’m
G Em
Ridin’ North
C Em
With a bedroll and a pistol
G Em
I ain’t got nothin’
C D
And U.S. Grant to thank
G Em
And all I’m wantin’ is
C Bm
What’s rightfully mine
G Em
And I’m gonna get it
C G
From some Yankee bank, yeah
[Verse]
G Em
I got a letter
C Em
Right after Shiloh
G Em
My wife had moved back
C D
To New Orleans
G Em
She said forgive me but I’m
C Em
Scared and lonely
G Em
Well that’s just one more thing they
C G
Took from me
[Chorus]
G
So I’m
G Em
Ridin’ North
C Em
With a bedroll and a pistol
G Em
I ain’t got nothin’
C D
And U.S. Grant to thank
G Em
And all I’m wantin’ is
C Bm
What’s rightfully mine
G Em
And I’m gonna get it
C G
From some Yankee bank, yeah
[Verse]
G Em
And if they catch me
C Em
They’re gonna have to kill me
G Em
‘Cause I won’t rot inside no
C D
Union jail
G Em
And I ain’t gonna bow down to no
C Em
Abraham Lincoln
G Em
I’m gonna go down fightin’ with a
C G
Rebel yell
[Chorus]
G
So I’m
G Em
Ridin’ North
C Em
With a bedroll and a pistol
G Em
I ain’t got nothin’
C D
And U.S. Grant to thank
G Em
And all I’m wantin’ is
C Bm
What’s rightfully mine
G Em
And I’m gonna get it
C G
From some Yankee bank, yeah
