david massengill - on the road to fairfax county (1992) lyrics
[verse 1]
o once i loved an outlaw
he came and stole my heart
o how i count the hours
since we were torn apart
[verse 2]
on the road to fairfax county
i spied a highwayman
he wanted all my money
my heart beat like a drum
[verse 3]
i gave him all my money
and sweet he smiled at me
his beauty i took pity
beneath a black oak tree
[verse 4]
we kissed but for an hour
the sun was newly warm
the clouds were as the flowers
that bloom but for a morn
[verse 5]
he gave back all my money
and bowed most gallantly
he promised for to meet mе
that night beneath the tree
[verse 6]
wе’d flee to some far island
and there we would be wed
and freely we would live there
with no price upon his head
[instrumental break]
[verse 7]
that night i went to meet him
with my inheritance
he kissed me ‘neath the half moon
and joyful we did dance
[verse 8]
o love betrays all secrets
it whispers in the breeze
the sheriff, he did follow
with all his deputies
[verse 9]
like hounds rushing to slaughter
the fox whose luck is run
and he stood erect and cursed them
“godd+mn you every one!”
[verse 10]
they seized him in a fury
and heeding not my plea
they hung him from the oak tree
where he made love to me
[verse 1]
o once i loved an outlaw
he came and stole my heart
o how i count the hours
since we were torn apart
