Il testo della Highwayman

I was a highwayman, along the coach roads i did ride
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 a river deep and wide
Where steel and water did collide
A place called boulder on the wild colorado
I slipped and fell on the wet concrete below
They buried me in that gray tomb that knows no sounds
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
