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 old mandolin man
You just wind him up and he'll start to sing
I've been away for quite a while, and I wanna hear all your news
Speak to me, let me see you smile
'Cause I've had those homesick blues
When I go down to the 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
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 old mandolin man
You just wind him up and he'll start to sing
I've been away for quite a while, and I wanna hear all your news
Speak to me, let me see you smile
'Cause I've had those homesick blues
When I go down to the 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
