OLD MANDOLIN (Michael Smith). This old mandolin is carved out of Pine, It was given to me by a hobo down the line, Willed to me with these last words: "Before I cross over, I'll show you some chords. This old mandolin is made out of earth and of stone: If the sound of the railroad leaves you feeling all alone, This old mandolin will take a hobo back home. This old mandolin is sure full of sand, It'll play out-of-tune if there's a cop on the train, Sing you the rhythm of the Superchief out of St. Paul And that ain't all. This old mandolin'll make a young girl open her window Like a warm breeze on a rainy night, And like a hex-sign on a barn, This old mandolin will keep a hobo from harm. This old mandolin is made out of old barns and watertanks, If the jukebox is busted and you need an old song, This old mandolin will take a hobo back home. recorded by Cindy Mangsen and Gordon Bok @music Copyright: Bird Avenue Publishing, BMI filename[ OLDMANDO SOF |
