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 living still
I was a dam builder across the river deep and wide Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 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 I'll always be around And around and around and around and 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
