Charlie And Fred Lyrics - Original Album Series, Vol. 2 - Hollies

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
