Highwayman

Intro: verse 1 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 25, But I am still alive. verse 2 I was a sailor, I was born upon the tide, With the sea I did abide, I sailed a schooner round the horn of Mexico, I went aloft and furled the main sail in a blow, And when the yards broke off they say that I got killed, But I am living still. verse 3 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 into the wet concrete below, They buried me in that gray tomb that knows no sounds, But I am still around. Bridge I'll always be around, and around, and around, and around, and around. verse 4 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, Outro: And I'll be back again, and again, and again, and again, and again.
