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.
