Matt's Candy
When Mattie was a young mountain girl they say her spirit ran free
She used to ride the ponies standing up right running the fields
She'd pin a note on her Daddy's coat saying, " when are you coming from town?
You forgot to kiss Ma come home soon and bring Matt's candy"
When she laid eyes on that Allen boy and their lives were bound to change
She was an old maid of 23, too wild to tame
He courted her by telephone, playing his mandolin
When he came to call he'd kiss her Ma and bring Matt's candy
Her mama said, "candy won't get you through the years
You'll survive the heart aches keep laughter following tears
Stand up right for what you believe
When you give your heart away let your spirit run wild and free"
Mattie married that Allen boy and they settled around Mill Creek
She kept the home fires burning, he played to make ends meet
Late at night the kids tucked in tight with everyone asleep
He stood by the bed with his mandolin and played for Matt's candy
Her mama said, "candy won't get you through the years
You'll survive the heart aches keep laughter following tears
Stand up right for what you believe
When you give your heart away let your spirit run wild and free"
She used to ride the ponies standing up right running the fields
She'd pin a note on her Daddy's coat saying, " when are you coming from town?
You forgot to kiss Ma come home soon and bring Matt's candy"
When she laid eyes on that Allen boy and their lives were bound to change
She was an old maid of 23, too wild to tame
He courted her by telephone, playing his mandolin
When he came to call he'd kiss her Ma and bring Matt's candy
Her mama said, "candy won't get you through the years
You'll survive the heart aches keep laughter following tears
Stand up right for what you believe
When you give your heart away let your spirit run wild and free"
Mattie married that Allen boy and they settled around Mill Creek
She kept the home fires burning, he played to make ends meet
Late at night the kids tucked in tight with everyone asleep
He stood by the bed with his mandolin and played for Matt's candy
Her mama said, "candy won't get you through the years
You'll survive the heart aches keep laughter following tears
Stand up right for what you believe
When you give your heart away let your spirit run wild and free"
