lyrics

Matthew was a tax collector so he didn’t have no friends
Cause nobody wants to see a tax collector come around again
He was sad and lonely and felt sorry for himself
His mamma said, Honey you’ve got lots of money and you still got your health

But he took just a little too much
He took just a little too much
Matthew was a tax collector
But he took just a little too much

He spent lots of time alone so he bought a big screen TV
A stereo, some Power Rangers, and a Lion King CD
A new refrigerator, a horse and saddle too
A pickup truck with a big gun rack, and a season pass to the zoo

He took a whole lot too much
I think he took a whole lot too much
Matthew was a tax collector
And he took a whole lot too much

One day he saw Jesus walking down the street
Jesus said come follow me. and his heart just skipped a beat
He started feeling sorry for what he’d done before
He said I will follow you and I’ll give it all back plus more

He gave it all back plus more
He gave it all back plus more
Matthew was a tax collector
And he gave it all back plus more

Thank you mamma
