Lyrics of 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 lifeblood on my blade

The bastards hung me
In the spring of twenty-five
But i am still alive

I was a sailor
I was born upon the tide
With the sea i did abide

I sailed a schooner
'round the horn to mexico
I went aloft and furled
The mainsail in a blow

And when the yards broke off
They said that i got killed
But i am livin' 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
And around

I fly a starship
'cross 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
