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 |
