Lyrics Betterman - Pearl Jam
I
know
about
a
man
to
whom
I
may
be
related,
he's
leatherman.
Died
a
long
time
ago
in
the
1880's...
leatherman,
leatherman.
Covered
with
leather,
but
it
wasn't
tight.
Underneath
the
moon
in
the
woods
at
night...
Makin'
the
rounds
ten
miles
a
day,
Once
a
month
they'd
spot
him,
here's
what
they'd
say...
"Here
he
comes,
he's
a
man
of
the
land.
He's
leatherman.
Smile
on
his
face,
an
axe
in
his
pack.
He's
leatherman."
Comes
out
of
the
caves
once
a
day
to
be
fed.
Wasn't
known
to
say
but
"Thanks
for
the
bread."
So
modern
day
I
walk
my
way,
my
jacket
faded,
Just
like
a
man
of
leather
whom
I
may
be
related.
Rolled
a
cigarette,
but
when
he
asked
for
a
light,
I
thought
he'd
be
an
animal,
but
so
polite.
Makin'
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,
an
axe
in
his
hand.
He's
leatherman."
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.
Give
me
some
skin,
leatherman.
