Mattie's Rag
Oh Mattie open up the door, thatâ"š¬â"ž¢s right Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m home again
Youâ"š¬â"ž¢ve got a big surprise in store, turn â"š¬í‹Å“round and count to ten
Wait â"š¬í‹Å“til you see what I got you, well youâ"š¬â"ž¢ll say itâ"š¬â"ž¢s a magic thing
Itâ"š¬â"ž¢s like an old mandolin man, you just wind him up and heâ"š¬â"ž¢ll start to sing.
Iâ"š¬â"ž¢ve been away for quite a while, and I want to hear all your news
Speak to me, let me see you smile, cause Iâ"š¬â"ž¢ve had those homesick blues
When I go down to that city I just donâ"š¬â"ž¢t know wrong from right
When I go back to you Mattie, well you make me see the light.
Love is a singular thing, it can take you up or bring you down
Yes love is a song that I sing, so come on now Mattie listen to the sound
When you grow up weâ"š¬â"ž¢ll sit and talk of how things used to be
Iâ"š¬â"ž¢ll be a grand old man of rock with all these memories.
