Something So Feminine About A Mandolin

By: Jimmy Buffett & Jane Slagsvol Buffett (wife) - 1975

E A E

It was late in the evenin', just a few of us pickin'

A E A B E B

But the lady she played so easy and fine

E A E

And the chords that she strummed were so tastefully clever

F#m Abm F#m Em

They planted this song in my mind

Chorus:

A E

'Cause there's somethin' so feminine about a mandolin

A E A B E B

The way that they feel, the way that they ring

E A

Just to see slender fingers, movin' so quickly

F#m Abm F#m E

Made this boy want to sing

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

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

'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
