Highwaymen

Verse: I was a highwayman Along the coach roads I did ride Sword and pistol by my side Many a young maid lost her bottles to my trade Many a soldier shed his life blood on my blade The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty five But I am still alive Verse: 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 yard broke off they say that I got killed, But I am living still Verse: I was a damnbuilder 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'm still around I'll always be around, and around, and around, and around, and around Verse: I'll fly a starship 'cross the universe divine 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 - repeat and fade)
