RAGGAMUFFIN’ MAN As recorded by Manfred Mann (Released as a Single in 1969) [Intro] [Verse 1] Born and raised as a rich man’s son You were always the restless one Living high only made you low So you packed up and hit the road [Chorus] Hey it’s the Ragamuffin Man Life was so grand you used to stand Holdin’ your head up high Hey it’s the Ragamuffin Man Look at you now I wonder how You can be satisfied [Verse 2] You stole a ride on a westbound train Called yourself by another name Spent your nights in a mission home Cast away the life that you’d known [Chorus] Hey it’s the Ragamuffin Man Life was so grand you used to stand Holdin’ your head up high Hey it’s the Ragamuffin Man Look at you now I wonder how You can be satisfied [Bridge] As you rise in the mornin’ rain Take a look down that road again Does the thought ever grab your mind For the life that you’ve left behind? [Chorus] Hey it’s the Ragamuffin Man Life was so grand you used to stand Holdin’ your head up high Hey it’s the Ragamuffin Man Look at you now I wonder how You can be satisfied Hey it’s the Ragamuffin Man [Outro] Hey it’s the Ragamuffin Man
