Ragamuffin Man Songtext
von Donna Fargo

Listen, sweet child, to the story I can tell
Told me by a butterfly, who lives in a wishing well
The story of the raggedy man and the dark-eyed dog he rode
In the dreams of little angles, between believing and being loved

She said somewhere by the sea
There′s a smilin' moon and a mango tree
Where on the ebony coat of a Labrador, named Jojo, mm
Mm, there rides a ragamuffin man

His hair is spun from a fine swan′s down twine
With shiny eyes, blue diamond eyes
And his coat is made
From multicolored hand-me-downs
And Jojo, well, he's been seen to fly


And I know somewhere by the sea
There's a smilin′ moon and a mango tree
Where on the ebony coat of a Labrador, named Jojo
There rides a ragamuffin man

Ragamuffin man, he speaks of a happy (ragamuffin man)
From his imaginary mind
He says that happiness is meant for those who love
And those who always let their kind light shine (shine)

Some say it′s all imagination
But child, hate to tell you that's a lie
Well, I was taught to love you, by a wise old raggity man
So like Jojo, I finally learned to fly (fly)

And I know somewhere by the sea
There′s a smilin' moon and a mango tree
Where on the ebony coat of a Labrador named Jojo
Mm, mm, there rides a ragamuffin man

Somewhere by the sea
There′s a smiling moon and a mango tree
