Highwayman |
| 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 bastards 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 horn to Mexico |
| I went aloft to furl the mainsail in a blow |
| And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed |
| 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 slipped and fell into the wet concrete 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, 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… |
