Highwayman Lyrics - Campbell Glen

I was a highwayman along the coach roads I did ride 

With the sword and pistol by my side 

Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade 

Many a soldier shed his life blood on my blade 

The bastards hung me in the spring of '25 

But I am still alive 

I was a sailor, I was born upon the tide 

And with the sea I did abide 

I sailed a schooner 'round the horn of Mexico 

I went aloft to furl the mainsail in a blow 

And when the yards broke off they say that I got killed 

But I am living still, perhaps I'll always, I don't know 

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, seems like it all goes 'round and 'round and 'round 

And 'round and 'round yes it goes when here we go 

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 and I'll be back again 

Yes, I will when here we go but I'll be back again 

Yes, I will when here we go but I'll be back again
