The Proclaimers - Mattie's Rag (cover)

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
