"Rag and Bone" is a song by the American garage rock band The White Stripes, and is the ninth track on their album Icky Thump. The track was released as a free red 7" vinyl with the June 6, 2007 issue of the NME magazine, with 120,000 copies made and an etching with drummer Meg White's face on it.
The song is told from the point of view of two rag and bone collectors, portrayed by both Jack and Meg White. The song's conventional verses and choruses are interspersed with a spoken narrative. The single version of the song is a different mix from the version that was later released on the UK LP 'Icky Thump' album.
