The Highway Man |
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… |
