Intro: |
I was a highwayman |
Along the coach roads I did ride |
With sword and pistol by my side |
Many a young girl lost her |
Baubles to my trade |
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood |
On my blade |
They finally hung me in the |
Spring of twenty-five |
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 and furled 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 |
Yes I'll always be around |
And around and around and |
Around and around |
Around |
I 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 and again |
