Something So Feminine About A Mandolin Lyrics - Havanna Daydreaming - Jimmy Buffett

By: Jimmy Buffett, Jane Slagsvol 

1975 

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

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
