Standard (EADGBE)
everyone came to hear the man sing
the man with the golden voice
his sweet melodies echoed across the crowd
as the people sang and rejoiced
for never before in all of their lives
had they heard such wonderous tunes
and never again until their demise
would their spirits be lifted by such glorious music
Chorus
oh matty won't you sing us a song again
one of your enchanting yarns
maybe you'll spin us another one
put some warmth back into our hearts
now nobody comes for the man does not sing
the townsfolk have long gone away
but every so often you can hear a voice call
asking the man if he'd come back and play
Chorus
oh matty won't you sing us a song again
one of your enchanting yarns
maybe you'll spin us another one
put some warmth back into our hearts
matty won't you sing us a song again (no!)
a song to live well past our days (f*ck you!)
oh matty just sing us another one
a song to forever be praised
