I heard about a man to whom I may be related

He's leatherman

Died a long time ago in the 1880's he's leatherman leatherman

Leatherman (x2)

Leatherman (x2)

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 stay much but thanks for the bread

So modern day I walk my way with my jacket faded

Just like a man of leather whom I may be related

Old cigarette for which he'd ask for a light

A fear beaten 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 (x2)

Leatherman (x2)

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
