| Mama, do you see what I see
|
| On your knees and pray for me
|
| Mathilde’s come back to me
|
| Charley, don’t want another beer
|
| Tonight I’m gonna drink my tears
|
| Mathilde’s come back to me
|
| Go ask the maid if she heard what I said
|
| Tell her to change the sheets on the bed
|
| Mathilde’s come back to me
|
| Fellas, don’t leave me tonight
|
| Tonight I’m going back to fight
|
| Wretched Mathilde’s in sight
|
| My heart, my heart, stop beating so
|
| Just make as if you didn’t know
|
| That Mathilde’s come back to me
|
| My heart, I don’t want you to say
|
| She’s lovelier than when she went away
|
| Mathilde, who’s come back to me
|
| My heart, stop beating overjoyed
|
| Remember you were once destroyed
|
| By Mathilde, who’s come back to me
|
| Fellas, please don’t go away
|
| Tell me that I mustn’t stay
|
| Mathilde’s coming back today
|
| My hands, you’ll start to shake again
|
| When you remember all the pain
|
| Mathilde’s come back to me
|
| You’ll want to beat her black and blue
|
| But don’t do it, I beg of you
|
| Mathilde’s come back to me
|
| My hands, remember all the years
|
| Remember when you caught my tears
|
| Mathilde’s come back to me
|
| My hands, you’ll want to touch her now
|
| But please try and be strong somehow
|
| Mathilde’s here, she’s coming now, now
|
| Mama, can you hear me yell
|
| Your baby boy’s gone back to hell
|
| Mathilde’s come back to me
|
| Charley, champagne right away
|
| I know you’ve been saving it for the holiday
|
| But Mathilde’s come back to me
|
| Go ask the maid if she heard what I said
|
| Tell her to put the best sheets on the bed
|
| Mathilde’s come back to me
|
| My friends, don’t count on me no more
|
| I’ve gone and crashed through heaven’s door
|
| My sweet Mathilde’s here
|
| Once more, once more |
