Leatherman

I heard about a man to whom I may be related, he's leatherman
Died a long time ago, in the 1880's lived a man, leatherman
Covered with leather but it wasn't tight
Underneath the moon in the woods at night

Making the rounds 10 miles a day
Once a month they'd spot him and here's what they'd say
Here he comes he's a man of the land, he's leatherman
Smile on his face axe in his pack
He's leatherman, leatherman, leatherman

Comes out of the caves once a day to be fed
Wasn't known to say but, but thanks for the bread

So modern day I walk my way with my jacket faded
Just like a man out of leather whom I may be related
Rolled cigarette for which he asks for a light
Appeared to be an animal yet so polite

Making the rounds 10 miles a day
Once a month they'd spot him and here's what they'd say
Here he comes he's a man of the land, he's leatherman
Smile on his face axe in his hand
He's leatherman, leatherman, leatherman
Leatherman, leatherman

Shake his hand he's leatherman
Bake some bread he's leatherman
Shame he's dead, I saw his bed
That's all that's left of leatherman
Leatherman
Give me some skin, leatherman
