(roamin Thru The Gloamin' With) 40,000 Headmen Lyrics - Traffic

Forty thousand headmen couldn't make me change my mind 

If I had to take the choice between the deafman and the blind 

I know just where my feet should go and that's enough for me 

I turned around and knocked them down and walked across the sea 

Hadn't traveled very far when suddenly I saw 

Three small ships a-sailing out towards a distant shore 

So lighting up a cigarette I followed in pursuit 

And found a secret cave where they obviously stashed their loot 

Filling up my pockets, even stuffed it up my nose 

I must have weighed a hundred tons between my head and toes 

I ventured forth before the dawn had time to change its mind 

And soaring high above the clouds I found a golden shrine 

Laying down my treasure before the iron gate 

Quickly rang the bell hoping I hadn't come too late 

But someone came along and told me not to waste my time 

And when I asked him who he was he said, 'Just look behind'

So I turned around and forty thousand headmen bit the dirt 

Firing twenty shotguns each and man, it really hurt 

But luckily for me they had to stop and then reload 

And by the time they'd done that I was heading down the road
