judy collins - highwayman lyrics

i was a highwayman
along the coach roads i did ride
with sword and pistol by my side
many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
many a soldier shed his life blood on my blade
the b+st+rds hung me in the spring of ’25
but i am still alive

i was a sailor
i was born upon the tide
and with the sea i did abide
i sailed a schooner ’round the h+rn to mexico
i went aloft to furl the mainsail in a blow
and when the yards broke off they said that i got k!lled
but i am living still

i was a dam builder
across the river deep and wide
where steel and water did collide
a place called boulder on the wild colorado
i slippеd and fell into the wet concrеte below
they buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
but i am still around
i’ll always be around, and around
and around, and around…
i’ll fly a starship
across the universe divide
and when i reach the other side
i’ll find a place to rest my spirit if i can
perhaps i may become a highwayman again
or i may simply be a single drop of rain
but i will remain
and i’ll be back again
and again, and again, and again, and again
