Harry The One-Man-Band - Manfred Mann

Harry the one-man band

Living best he can

Poor old man

Can’t read or write

Can’t afford a light for the cigarette he’s found on the ground

Harry the one-man band

No ambitious plans

Poor old man

No home or wife

Bust all his life paper pillows for his head and a wooden bed

So give him a penny he don’t get many

Give him a shilling if you can

Harry’s out in the rain

Harry’s out in the snow

Anywhere the people are Harry’s sure to go

Playing for his food

Playing on his drums

Lots of people passing by

But Harry’s having fun

Harry the one-man band

Needs a helping hand

Poor old man

Stuck in his ways

Spends all his days wandering where his next meal will be coming from

So give him a penny he don’t get many

Give him a shilling if you can

Harry’s out in the rain

Harry’s out in the snow

Anywhere the people are Harry’s sure to go

Playing for his food

Playing on his drums

Lots of people passing by

But Harry’s having fun

So give him a penny he don’t get many

Give him a shilling if you can

Harry’s out in the rain

Harry’s out in the snow

Anywhere the people are Harry’s sure to go

Playing for his food

Playing on his drums

Lots of people passing by

But Harry’s having fun
