He rides on his horse and cart, Charlie does
C D
Working from six until nine
Collecting old rags and used bicycles
C D
Old iron, description of any kind
D C G D
Here comes Charlie, Charlie the ragman
C G D
Throw out your old clothes for Charlie and Fred
C G D
Earning a living off things we've discarded
C G D G D G
Earning enough for the board and the bed
D
You hear him shout, "Rags and old iron!"
C D
Everyone knows him that way
Once a week, they come 'round calling
C D
How long it's been, I can't say
C G D
Here comes Charlie, Charlie the ragman
C G D
Throw out your old clothes for Charlie and Fred
C G D
Earning a living off things we've discarded
C G D G D G
Earning enough for the board and the bed

They live all alone in a hovel

He puts his money away
C
Taking enough to just live on

And at the end of the day
Em G A
He's saving enough to put Fred out to graze____
