Charlie And Fred

Allan Clarke, Graham Nash, Tony Hicks

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

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
