Jimmy Buffett — Something So Feminine About A Mandolin

[Verse 1] It was late in the evenin', just a few of us pickin' But the lady she played so easy and fine And the chords that she strummed were so tastefully clever They planted this song in my mind [Chorus] 'Cause there's somethin' so feminine about a mandolin The way that they feel, the way that they ring Just to see slender fingers, movin' so quickly Made this boy want to sing [Verse 2] And when I get older and I have a daughter I'll teach her to sing and play her my songs And I'll tell her some stories I can barely remember And hope that she will sing along [Verse 3] And maybe one day she'll take a fancy to pickin' 'Cause when that bug bites you, you live with the sting And if she could just strum a few simple measures She could make some young man sing [Chorus] 'Cause there's somethin' so feminine about a mandolin Way that they feel, the way that they ring And that evenin' in a pasture somewhere near Austin That mandolin made me sing Her mandolin made me sing
