Highwayman
Lyricist:Jimmy Webb
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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 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
