Song Lyrics
Well you make me see the light, oh mattie open up the door, oh mattie open up the door
That s right i m home again, when i go back to you mattie Rafferty, oh mattie open up the door
you ve got a big surprise in store
I ve been away for quite a while, when i go down to that city i just don t know wrong from right, oh mattie open up the door
when i go down to that city i just don t know wrong from right
That s right i m home again, turn round and count to ten
and i want to hear all your news
You just wind him up and he ll start to sing, you just wind him up and he ll start to sing, when i go down to that city i just don t know wrong from right
So come on now mattie listen to the sound, yes love is a song that i sing, and i want to hear all your news
let me see you smile
It s like an old mandolin man, you just wind him up and he ll start to sing
It s like an old mandolin man, oh mattie open up the door
You just wind him up and he ll start to sing, you just wind him up and he ll start to sing, well you ll say it s a magic thing
Yes love is a song that i sing, turn round and count to ten Gerry, that s right i m home again
I ll be a grand old man of rock with all these memories, so come on now mattie listen to the sound Gerry, cause i ve had those homesick blues
When i go down to that city i just don t know wrong from right, let me see you smile Rag, you just wind him up and he ll start to sing
Oh mattie open up the door, it s like an old mandolin man Gerry, that s right i m home again
it can take you up or bring you down
When i go down to that city i just don t know wrong from right, well you ll say it s a magic thing Mattie's, you ve got a big surprise in store
When you grow up we ll sit and talk of how things used to be, it s like an old mandolin man Rag, when i go down to that city i just don t know wrong from right
