Song information On this page you can read the lyrics of the song Something So Feminine About a Mandolin , by - Jimmy Buffett. Song from the album Songs You Don't Know By Heart, in the genre 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 |
