On the Road to Fairfax County |
Oh, once I loved an outlaw |
He came and stole my heart |
Oh, how I count the hours |
Since we were torn apart |
On the road to Fairfax County |
I spied a highwayman |
He wanted all my money |
My heart beat like a drum |
I gave him all my money |
And sweet he smiled at me |
His beauty eye took pity |
Beneath the black oak tree |
We kissed but for an hour |
The sun was newly warm |
The clouds were as the flowers |
That bloom but for a morn |
He gave back all my money |
And bowed most gallantly |
He promised for to meet me |
That night beneath the tree |
We’d flee to some far island |
And there we would be wed |
And freely we would live there |
With no price upon his head |
That night I went to meet him |
With my inheritance |
He kissed me 'neath the half moon |
And joyful we did dance |
Oh, love betrays all secrets |
It whispers in the breeze |
The Sheriff, he did follow |
With all his deputies |
Like hounds rushing to slaughter |
The fox whose luck is run |
And he stood erect and cursed them |
God damn you every one |
They seized him in a fury |
And heeding not my pleas |
They hung him from the oak tree |
Where he made love to me |
Ohh, once I loved an outlaw |
He came and stole my heart |
Oh, how I count the hours |
Since we were torn apart |
