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
