Mattie’s Rag - Gerry Rafferty

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
