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
ย
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
ย
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
ย
Handbags and gladrags
And here's Ron Wood
