Highwayman Lyrics
(Willie)
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.
(Kris)
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.
(Waylon)
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.
A D Bm A G F#m Em B>C#>D
I'll always be around and around............
(Johnny)
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
A G F#m Em B>C#>D
and again and again and again..
