Lyrics

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.
