Highwayman - Jimmy Webb[00:00:00]
I was a highwayman along the coach roads I did ride[00:00:09]
With the sword and pistol by my side[00:00:17]
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade[00:00:23]
Many a soldier left his life blood on my blade[00:00:30]
The bastards hung me in the spring of '25[00:00:37]
But I am still alive[00:00:44]
I was a sailor I was born upon the tide[00:00:51]
And with the sea I did abide[00:01:00]
I sailed a schooner 'round the horn of Mexico[00:01:05]
I went aloft to furl the mainsail in a blow[00:01:12]
And when the yards broke off they say that I got killed[00:01:19]
But I am living still perhaps I'll always I don't know[00:01:26]
I was a dam builder across the river deep and wide[00:01:33]
Where steel and water did collide[00:01:42]
A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado[00:01:47]
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below[00:01:54]
They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound[00:02:01]
But I am still around[00:02:07]
Seems like it all goes 'round and 'round and 'round[00:02:12]
And 'round and 'round yes it does when here we go[00:02:16]
I'll fly a starship across the universe divide[00:02:32]
And when I reach the other side[00:02:40]
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can[00:02:46]
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again[00:02:53]
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain[00:03:00]
But I will remain and I'll be back again[00:03:06]
I'll be back again[00:03:14]
Yes I will when here we go but I'll be back again[00:03:18]
Yes I will when here we go but I'll be back again[00:03:32]
