Rags And Old Iron - 2004 Remastered Version
Rags, old iron, rags, old iron
All he was buying was just rags and old iron
I heard, that old rag man, now making his rounds
He came right to my alley, Lord, with sorrowful sounds
Crying, rags, old iron, and pulling his cart
Ask him how much he'd give me for my broken heart
Rags, old iron, rags, old iron
All he was buying was rags and old iron
So I asked, that old rag man, how much he would pay
For a heart that was broken, baby, when you went away
For a burnt out old love light that no longer beams
And a couple of slightly used second hand dreams
Rags, old iron, rags, old iron
All he was buying was rags and old iron
Whatever he'd offer, I'd happily take
For those big empty promises you used to make
For those memories of you that are no longer sweet
I wish he could haul them off down the street
Rags, old iron, rags, old iron
All he was buying was just rags and old iron
When love doesn't last, tell me, how much is it worth?
It was once mama's most precious possession on Earth
When I asked, that old rag man, he'd like to buy
He just shook his head and continued to cry
Rags, old iron, rags, old iron
All he was buying was just rags and old iron
Rags, old iron, rags, old iron
Rags, old iron, rags, old iron, rags, old iron
All he was buying was just rags and old iron
I heard, that old rag man, now making his rounds
He came right to my alley, Lord, with sorrowful sounds
Crying, rags, old iron, and pulling his cart
Ask him how much he'd give me for my broken heart
Rags, old iron, rags, old iron
All he was buying was rags and old iron
So I asked, that old rag man, how much he would pay
For a heart that was broken, baby, when you went away
For a burnt out old love light that no longer beams
And a couple of slightly used second hand dreams
Rags, old iron, rags, old iron
All he was buying was rags and old iron
Whatever he'd offer, I'd happily take
For those big empty promises you used to make
For those memories of you that are no longer sweet
I wish he could haul them off down the street
Rags, old iron, rags, old iron
All he was buying was just rags and old iron
When love doesn't last, tell me, how much is it worth?
It was once mama's most precious possession on Earth
When I asked, that old rag man, he'd like to buy
He just shook his head and continued to cry
Rags, old iron, rags, old iron
All he was buying was just rags and old iron
Rags, old iron, rags, old iron
Rags, old iron, rags, old iron, rags, old iron
