Leatherman

[edit] Lyrics

I heard about a man to whom i may be related
He's leatherman
Died a long time ago in the 1880's
Leatherman
Leatherman

Covered with leather but it wasn't tight
Underneath a moon in the woods at night

Making the rounds ten 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
He wasn't known to say much but thanks for the bread

So modern day i walk my way with my jacket faded
Just like a man of leather to whom i may be related

Rolled cigarette for which he'd ask for a light
Appeared to be an animal yet so polite

Making the rounds ten 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
It's all that's left of
Leatherman
Leatherman

Give me some skin leatherman
