Mattie's Rag

Oh mattie open up the door

That's right I'm home again

You've got a big surprise in store

Turn 'round and count to ten

Wait 'til you see what I got you

Well you'll say it's a magic thing

It's like an old mandolin man

You just wind him up and he'll start to sing

I've been away for quite a while and

I want to hear all your news

Speak to me let me see you smile

Cause I've had those homesick blues

When I go down to that city

I just don'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 we'll sit and

Talk of how things used to be

I'll be a grand old man of rock with all these memories
