Mattie`s Rag — текст песни (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
