Hollies - Charlie And Fred **First Verse Sung a Capella** 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 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: 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: 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____ Has anyone seen Charlie lately? Charlie just ain’t been around Everyone’s seen Fred is grazing Chewing the grass from the ground **Last Verse Sung a Capella** Children say Charlie is happy Giving balloons to the angels instead Where is Charlie Charlie the ragman? Don’t throw your clothes out
