byrne and kelly - the rag man lyrics
[verse 1]
spent his life in transit trains
around the liberties
satchel on his shoulders
stickin’ handles in both knees
children run to meet him
like a circus p-ssing by
mothers stand and greet him
hoping they can catch his eye
she can’t tell what he wants
[?] want to give her out
but [?] a future stood there with
a man and his horse and cart
her family would disown her
she’d be be left there on her own
don’t risk it all on the man with the rag and bone
[pre-chorus]
here comes, here comes, here comes
here comes, here comes, here comes
the rag man
[chorus]
here comes the rag man
he got the rag and bone
here comes the rag man
he got the rag and bone
[verse 2]
they say he joined the navy at the age of 17
there’s nowhere on this planet that man has never been
he’s had his way with women from all corners of the land
now he chose this dublin girl by offering his hand
she gave up everything she had to follow him around
sellin’ rags and fillin’ bags to try and make a pound
she always hoped for better, her future wasn’t known
she never thought he’d up and leave
a man with a rag and bone
[pre-chorus]
here comes, here comes, here comes
here comes, here comes, here comes
the rag man
[chorus]
here comes the rag man
he got the rag and bone
here comes the rag man
he got the rag and bone
[verse 3]
now she’s left alone again to build a life once more
she plays it safe and dreams of her [?] the distant [?]
give her hope for better, future was unknown
now she’s left alone again to build a life once more
the child that grows inside her will never see his father’s hand
left [?] to wonder, she’ll never understand
but lookin’ back at what he did, and even if she’d known
she wouldn’t change a thing
but the man with the rag and bone
[pre-chorus]
here comes, here comes, here comes
here comes, here comes, here comes
the rag man
[chorus]
here comes the rag man
she loved the rag and bone
he was a rag man
she loved the rag and bone
he was a rag man
she loved the rag and bone
he was a rag man
she loved the rag and bone
she loved the rag and bone
she loved the rag and bone
he was a rag man
(here comes)
she loved the rag and bone
(here comes)
he was a rag man
she loved the rag and bone
