about

Inspired by an ad on Ebay for an old Mandolin that I was looking at buying. The mandolin was well travelled and it’s description conjured up magical images of busking round the world. But it made me wonder how would it fare in the hands of someone who didn't like going to far from home…

lyrics

I bought a Hercules mandolin stand
It’s gonna come in handy when I’m part of a band
I bought Elixir 80/20 strings
Now all I need is the mandolin
So get me a vintage clean eight string mandolin
Just me and my vintage eight string mandolin
I hear that there’s a great life to be had
Busking the world living hand to mouth
I’m gonna get away and sing
As soon as I learn to play this thing
So get me a vintage clean eight string mandolin
Just me and my vintage eight string mandolin
I used to play a battered Takamine guitar
Had a hatful of hope, dream’t that I’d go far
But I’m still singing here in this bar
But I’m never gonna give in
Just get me and a vintage eight string mandolin
I think I’m finally gonna take my chance
To sail round the world or catch a ferry to France
It’s a good place to begin
It’s not so far to get home again
So get me a vintage clean eight string mandolin
Just me and my vintage eight string mandolin
