Gerry Rafferty Mattie's Rag lyrics
Songwriters: Rafferty, Gerry
Oh Mattie open up the door, thatâs right Iâm home again
Youâve got a big surprise in store, turn âround and count to ten
Wait âtil you see what I got you, well youâll say itâs a magic thing
Itâs like an old mandolin man, you just wind him up and heâll start to sing.
Iâve been away for quite a while, and I want to hear all your news
Speak to me, let me see you smile, cause Iâve had those homesick blues
When I go down to that city I just donât 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 weâll sit and talk of how things used to be
Iâll be a grand old man of rock with all these memories.
