Mattie's Rag Lyrics

Artist: Gerry Rafferty (Buy Gerry Rafferty CDs)
Album: City to City

Oh Mattie open up the door, thatâ‚¬â„¢s right Iâ‚¬â„¢m home again
Youâ‚¬â„¢ve got a big surprise in store, turn â‚¬Ëœround and count to ten
Wait â‚¬Ëœtil you see what I got you, well youâ‚¬â„¢ll say itâ‚¬â„¢s a magic thing
Itâ‚¬â„¢s like an old mandolin man, you just wind him up and heâ‚¬â„¢ll start to sing.

Iâ‚¬â„¢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‚¬â„¢ve had those homesick blues
When I go down to that city I just donâ‚¬â„¢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‚¬â„¢ll sit and talk of how things used to be
Iâ‚¬â„¢ll be a grand old man of rock with all these memories.
