Rags and Old Iron

Lyrics

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 just 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 just rags and old iron
 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 what is it worth
 It was once mama's most precious possession on earth
 When I asked that old rag man if 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
