Lyrics

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
