Lyrics

Ever seen a blind man cross the road
 Tryin' to reach the other side?
 Ever seen a young girl growing old
 Tryin' to make herself a bride?
 So what becomes of you, my love?
 When they have finally stripped you of
 The handbags and the gladrags
 That your poor old granddad
 Had to sweat to buy ya
 ♪
 Once I was a young man
 And all I thought I had to do was smile
 You are still a young girl
 And you bought everything in style
 But once you think you're in, you're out
 But that don't mean a single thing without
 The handbags and the gladrags
 That your poor old granddad
 Had to sweat to buy ya
 Sing a song of six pence for your sake
 And buy a bottle full of rye
 Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake
 And bake them all in a pie
 They told me you missed school today
 So what I suggest, you just throw them all away
 The handbags and the gladrags
 That your poor old granddad
 Had to sweat to buy ya
 ♪
 Oh yeah
 They told me you missed school today
 So what I suggest, you just throw them all away
 The handbags and the gladrags
 That your poor old granddad
 Had to sweat to buy ya
 ♪
 Handbags and gladrags
 And here's Ron Wood
