the highwayman lyrics
[verse 1]
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

[verse 2]
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

[verse 3]
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 slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
they buried me in that gray tomb that knows no sound
but i am still around

[verse 4]
i’ll fly a star ship 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 and again
