Theodore's Song

He was an old broom maker

A medicine man

On an old boneshaker

Back in nineteen thirty-nine

No home to go to

Just the open road

Oxen borne

But it never, ever showed

Bring me that old wristwatch

Fix it, broke-down man

Trust me, I'm the man

On me you can depend

He could hold the ocean

In the palm of his hand

What he calls emotion

Let time slip like grains of sand

When the music took him

To the streets in town

He could catch a picture

For the price of half-a-crown

Bring me that old wristwatch

Fix it, broke-down man

Trust me, I'm the man

On me you can depend

Bring me that old wristwatch

Fix it, broke-down man

Trust me, I'm the man

On me you can depend

Now his heart was broken

On a wedding day

Not a word was spoken

'Cause there was nothing left to say

About how he whispered

How he went inside

And he never kissed her

That day he lost his bride

Bring me that old wristwatch

Fix it, broke-down man

Trust me, I'm the man

On me you can depend

Oh, bring me that old wristwatch

Fix it, broke-down man

Trust me, I'm the man

On me you can depend

Raggle-taggle gypsy

Raggle-taggle mind

That's our world, it saw him

As he would not confined

It was a touch of emotion

That bids his wing

Through the lanes bicycled

To a henhouse where he lived

Bring me that old wristwatch

Fix it, broke-down man

Trust me, I'm the man

On me you can depend

Bring me that old wristwatch

Fix it, broke-down man

Trust me, I'm the man

On me you can depend

On me you can depend

On me you can depend
