Oh Mattie you 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 till you see what I got you, well
Youll say it's a magic thing, its
Like an old mandolin man, you just
Wind him up and hell 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 home sick blues.
When I go down to the city
I just don't know wrong from right
When I get 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 the 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 your grand old man of rock
With all these memories.
...and fade
