Lyrics

Ev er see a (Bb)blind man cross the road

(F9sus4)try’n to make the oth er side?

Ev er see a (Bb)young girl grow in’ old,

(F9sus4)try’n to make her self a (Bb)bride?

So what be comes of you my love,

when they’ve fin ’lly (C)stripped you of

the (Eb)hand bags and the glad rags that your poor old gran dad had to sweat to buy you.

Yeah,

Once I was (Bb)young

and all I thought I (F9sus4)had do was (Bb)smile.

Well, you are still young girl

and you’ve (F9sus4)bought ev ’ry thing in style.

once you think you’re in, you’re out.

’Cause you don’t mean a (C)sin gle thing with out

(Eb)hand bags and the glad rags that your poor old gran dad had to sweat to buy you.

Yeah,

Sing a song of (Bb)six pence for your sake

and drink a bot tle full of rye.

Four and twen ty (Bb)black birds in a (Eb)cake

and (F9sus4)bake them all

in a (Bb)pie.

They told me you missed school

to day,

so what I sug gest you just (C)throw them all a way.

The (Eb)hand bags and the glad rags that your poor old gran dad had to sweat to buy.

Oh.

They told me you missed school

to day,

so what I sug gest you just (C)throw them all a way.

The (Eb)hand bags and the glad rags that your poor old gran dad had to sweat to buy.

Oh.
