I know about a man to whom I may be related, he's leatherman. |
|
Died a long time ago in the 1880's...leatherman, leatherman. |
|
Covered with leather, but it wasn't tight. |
|
Underneath the moon in the woods at night... |
|
Makin' the rounds ten miles a day, |
|
Once a month they'd spot him, here's what they'd say... |
|
"Here he comes, he's a man of the land. |
|
He's leatherman. Smile on his face, an axe in his pack. |
|
He's leatherman." |
|
Comes out of the caves once a day to be fed. |
|
Wasn't known to say but "Thanks for the bread." |
|
So modern day I walk my way, my jacket faded, |
|
Just like a man of leather whom I may be related. |
|
Rolled a cigarette, but when he asked for a light, |
|
I thought he'd be an animal, but so polite. |
|
Makin' the rounds ten miles a day. |
|
Once a month they'd spot him and here's what they'd say... |
|
"Here he comes, he's a man of the land, he's leatherman. |
|
Smile on his face, an axe in his hand. |
|
He's leatherman." |
|
Shake his hand he's leatherman. |
|
Bake some bread he's leatherman. |
|
Shame he's dead. I saw his bed, |
|
It's all that's left of leatherman. |
|
Give me some skin, leatherman. |
