He rides on his horse and cart, Charlie does |
|
Working from six until nine |
|
Collecting old rags and used bicycles |
|
Old iron of description of any kind |
|
Here comes Charlie, Charlie the rag man |
|
Throw out your old clothes for Charlie and Fred |
|
Earning a living off things we've discarded |
|
Earning enough for the board and the bed |
|
You hear him shout rags and old iron |
|
Everyone knows him that way |
|
Once a week, they come round calling |
|
How long it's been, I can't say |
|
They live all alone in a hovel |
|
He puts his money away |
|
Taking enough to just live on |
|
And at the end of the day |
|
He's saving enough |
|
To put Fred out to graze |
|

|
Has anyone seen Charlie lately? |
|
Charlie just ain't been around |
|
Everyones seen Fred is grazing |
|
Chewing the grass from the ground |
|
Children say Charlie is happy |
|
Giving balloons to the angels instead |
|
Where is Charlie, Charlie the rag man? |
|
Don't throw your clothes out |
