Story behind the song
Originally written by myself with only a lyric I wanted to have a Celtic feel to the song for ;Mattie. ;Mattie; is a women from the Miramichi who is in the Fiddle Hall of Fame and is still very active as a performer into her eighties. Connie & Paul& are Celtic performers and friends so I took my acoustic and the scratch sheet to his music shop one day and threww it at him in a country tempo. Interest was sparked and the song came back to me in a few days with an offer to co-publish a slightly modified lyric with a wonderful Celtic tempo and open D tuning. Connie &Paul have recorded their version on their upcoming CD. This is my rendition acoustic/solo.
Lyrics
Mattie’s Cove Music by CONNIE & PAUL Lyrics by CONNIE & PAUL & Dirk Stewart July’ O4 Key D TUNING DADGBE There once was a woman she lived by the sea A dear friend of my father and me She was known for the fiddle and the cut of her bow The place she played was called “Old Mattie’s Cove” Chorus: Mattie dear Mattie just rosin your bow Play one more tune just for the Cove The night is young yet the stars have all gone So Mattie just play one more song The stroke of her bow was her sweetest caress The nights we played they were some of the best Dad on his squeezebox me my guitar We’d walk along ‘til we’d see old Mattie’s car FIDDLE BREAK We’d play some sweet music down there by the shore People would gather and call out for more Out of her fiddle the fire would flow And from the darkness we’d hear “Go Mattie Go!” Mattie’s Cove is a fictional tale inspired by a very realistic legend of the Miramichi River. Matilda Murdoch, an inductee in the North American Fiddler’s Hall of Fame and the New Brunswick Country Music Hall of Fame is affectionately referred to by friends as Mattie. 2004 Miramichi River Productions, SOCAN
