 Hello stranger, now
 You sho' do remind me of Mattie Mae, now
 Hello stranger, now
 You sho' do remind me of Mattie Mae, now
 Lord, an I'm just thinkin' about how you quit me
 Mama, an the day you walked away, now
 Mattie Mae, have got'n two dimple in her jaw
 She have got long black curly hair, m-now
 Mattie Mae, have got two dimple in her jaw, now
 She have got long black curly hair, now
 Lord, she's kind-a lean in the waist
 John, an her complexion looks awful fair, now
 Lord, I was standin' around her congregation of people
 Here's the first word I had to say, now
 Lord, I was standin' around her congregation of people, now
 Here's the first word I had to say, now
 I thought a-hug you an kiss you
 A-because you sho' do remind me of Mattie Mae, Maes
 'Play this 'un Brother John, you know how I be alone'
 (Piano, harp & instrumtental)
 'Yeah, yeah, yeah'
 'Come on, go back, you know down, I need sound'
 'You don't wanna bug out-a-here'
 (instrumental continues)
 Lord, if you want to be my little baby
 My baby, I'll always let you have your way
 Now, if you wants to be Sonny Boy's little baby, yeah
 My baby, I would always let you have yo way, now
 I give you my money an ev'rything
 Because you look exactly like, Mattie Mae, now
