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 Ragman 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
Here comes Charlie, Charlie the Ragman 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
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
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 Everyone's 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 Ragman? Don't throw your clothes out
