Hey there darling is your name Mattie Mae (X2)
you sure look like that sweet girl
what you got to say

Mattie Mae was tiny as you, only stood 5 foot 4 (X2)
not many women that little and skinny
will keep me from the door

You’ve got skin like Mattie Mae, smooth as milky ice (X2)
when you walked on by me just now
I had to look back twice

Mattie Mae wasn’t pretty but her soul lit up the world (X2)
and if you treated her wrong or bad
she’d make your blood curl

I can love you but I’ll be thinkin bout little Mattie Mae(X2)
that good girls never left my mind
what else can I say
