Mattie Price

Well, look at Mattie Price, she's lookin' awful nice
Last time I seen her, she's 'bout to my knees
Now she don't even blink, you can't tell what she thinks
Flower like that's gonna draw a lot of bees

Ah, you better get married, Mattie Price, or you better get out of town
You better get married, Mattie Price, trouble goin' down

These summer nights are hot, she sure don't wear a lot
She's always on that corner by the store
And as she moves along, I'm feelin' awful wrong
I never really felt like this before

Now, you better get married, Mattie Price, or you better get out of town
You better get married, Mattie Price, trouble goin' down

This heat just makes me mad, she just makes me sad
She should do what everyone says is right
Quite tryin' her luck, marry some young buck
I wonder what she's doin' tonight

Ah, you better get married, Mattie Price, or you better get out of town
You better get married, Mattie Price, trouble goin' down

Ah, you better get married, Mattie Price, or you better get out of town
You better get married, Mattie Price, trouble all around
