You are here: Original Lyrics > Old Leatherman Old Leather Man by Eric Westbrook One misty, moisty morning when cloudy was the weather I chanced to meet an old man clothed all in leather He spoke no words of wisdom as he wandered through the dark New England day But his words were spoken for him by the pieces stitched upon his back They began to come unraveled cracked and beaten by the fact of too many misty mornings torn by remembering there ain't no way to go back Old leather man your freedom dealt you a cheatin' hand Old leather man you know I understand Well I knew that the leather man could not speak but he asked me with his eyes If the face I wore with confidence was nothing but a disguise I spoke no words of wisdom as I stumbled through the dark New England day Old leather man your freedom dealt you a cheatin' hand Old leather man you know I understand copyright 2004, Catoctin Music |
