He rides on his horse and cart, Charlie does Working from six until nine Collecting old rags and used bicycles Old iron, 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 Bridge: 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____ Instrumental:
