The Hollies – Charlie And Fred Lyrics  Share

(Clarke / Hicks / Nash)

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.

[Chorus:]
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.

[Chorus]

[ Charlie And Fred lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/h/hollies/charlie-and-fred/ ]
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.

[Repeat]

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.
