Something So Feminine About a Mandolin |
It was late in the evenin', just a few of us pickin' |
But the lady she played so easy and fine |
And the chords that she strummed were so tastefully clever |
They planted this song in my mind |
'Cause there’s somethin' so feminine about a mandolin |
The way that they feel, the way that they ring |
Just to see slender fingers, movin' so quickly |
Made this boy want to sing |
And when I get older and I have a daughter |
I’ll teach her to sing and play her my songs |
And I’ll tell her some stories I can barely remember |
And hope that she will sing along |
And maybe one day she’ll take a fancy to pickin' |
'Cause when that bug bites you, you live with the sting |
And if she could just strum a few simple measures |
She could make some young man sing |
'Cause there’s somethin' so feminine about a mandolin |
Way that they feel, the way that they ring |
And that evenin' in a pasture somewhere near Austin |
That mandolin made me sing |
Her mandolin made me sing |
