I heard an old rag man out makin' his rounds Comin' right down my alley with sorrowful sounds Cryin' "Aigs Ol' I'n!" and pulin' his cart I asked him how much he'd give me for my broken heart
Aigs Ol' I'n! Aigs Ol' I'n! All he was buyin' Was rags and old iron
I asked that old rag man how much he would pay For a heart that was broken when you went away For a burnt out old love light that no longer beams And a couple of slightly used second hand dreams
"Aigs Ol' I'n! Aigs Ol' I'n!" All he was buyin' Was rags and old iron
Whatever he'd offer I'd happily take For the big empty promises you used to make For the memories of you that are no longer sweet I just wish he could haul 'em all off down the street
" Aigs ol' i'n! Aigs ol' i'n!" All he was buyin' Was rags and old iron
When love doesn't last, tell me what is it worth It was once my most precious possesion on earth Now I asked that old rag man if he'd like to buy But he just shook his head and continued to cry
" Aigs ol' i'n! Aigs ol' i'n!" All he was buyin' Was rags and old iron
