Thread Name: Lyr Req: Oh, Mandolin (McCullough/Nims/Pie)
Subject: Lyr Req: 'Oh, Mandolin'
I heard this song performed on Saturday night and loved it. Does anyone have the lyrics?
I found only a single YouTube rendition, but it's sung quietly by a little girl (who also plays it on mandolin!) and I can't make out much of what she's saying. Except part of the refrain:
"Oh, mandolin, sing me a song, sweet and soft, to soothe my soul.
I wanna dance; tonight is holy...."

Taylor Pie, on her web site, says it was written by her and Herb McCullough and Debbie Nims, and she says she thinks it will one day be a bluegrass classic. I agree with that, though perhaps not if no one knows the lyrics.
