Hello stranger, now
You sho` do remind me of Mattie Mae, now
Lord, an I`m just thinkin` about how you quit me

Mattie Mae, have got`n two dimple in her jaw
She have got long black curly hair, m-now
Mattie Mae, have got two dimple in her jaw, now
She have got long black curly hair, now
Lord, she`s kind-a lean in the waist
John, an her complexion looks awful fair, now
Lord, I was standin` around her congregation of people
Here`s the first word I had to say, now
Lord, I was standin` around her congregation of people, now
Here`s the first word I had to say, now
I thought a-hug you an kiss you
A-because you sho` do remind me of Mattie Mae, Maes
`Play this `un Brother John, you know how I be alone`
(Piano, harp & instrumtental)
`Yeah, yeah, yeah`
`Come on, go back, you know down, I need sound`
`You don`t wanna bug out-a-here`
(instrumental continues)
Lord, if you want to be my little baby
My baby, I`ll always let you have your way
Now, if you wants to be Sonny Boy`s little baby, yeah
My baby, I would always let you have yo way, now
I give you my money an ev`rything
Because you look exactly like, Mattie Mae, now
