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
