The Highwayman - Phil Ochs[00:00:00]

The wind was a torrent of darkness[00:00:04]

Among the gusty trees[00:00:08]

The moon was a ghostly galleon[00:00:12]

Tossed upon the cloudy seas[00:00:15]

The road was a ribbon of moonlight[00:00:18]

Over the purple moor[00:00:22]

And the highwayman came riding [00:00:25]

Riding riding [00:00:29]

Yes the highwayman came riding [00:00:32]

Up to the old indoor [00:00:36]

Over the cobbles he clattered[00:00:40]

And clashed in the dark innyard [00:00:43]

And he tapped with his whip on the shutters [00:00:47]

But all was locked and barred;[00:00:50]

So he whistled a tune to the window [00:00:54]

Who should be waiting there[00:00:58]

But the landlord's black eyed daughter [00:01:01]

Bess the landlord's daughter [00:01:06]

Plaiting a dark red love knot[00:01:09]

Into her long black hair [00:01:12]

One kiss my bonny sweetheart [00:01:16]

I'm after a prize tonight [00:01:19]

But I shall be back with the yellow gold[00:01:23]

Before the morning light;[00:01:27]

Yet if they press me sharply [00:01:30]

And harry me through the day [00:01:34]

Then look for me by moonlight [00:01:37]

Watch for me by the moonlight [00:01:41]

And I'll come to thee by moonlight [00:01:44]

Though hell should bar the way [00:01:48]

He did not come at the dawning;[00:01:52]

No he did not come at noon [00:01:55]

And out of the tawny sunset [00:01:59]

Before the rise of the moon [00:02:02]

When the road was a gypsy's ribbon [00:02:06]

Looping the purple moor [00:02:10]

Oh a red coat troop came marching [00:02:13]

Marching marching[00:02:16]

King George's men came marching [00:02:19]

Up to the old indoor [00:02:22]

They boought the landlow catter[00:02:26]

With many a sniggering jest;[00:02:29]

They had bound a musket beside her [00:02:33]

With the barrel beneath her breast [00:02:36]

Now keep good watch [00:02:39]

And they kissed her [00:02:42]

She heard the dead man say[00:02:44]

Look for me by moonlight[00:02:48]

Watch for me by moonlight[00:02:51]

And I'll come to thee by moonlight [00:02:54]

Though hell should bar the way [00:02:58]

Look for me by moonlight[00:03:03]

Look it again in clear[00:03:06]

Watch for me by moonlight[00:03:10]

Where they dead that they did not here for he[00:03:12]

Road down the Gypsy highway[00:03:17]

She brings one final brother[00:03:20]

That her finger move then the moon light[00:03:23]

Her must keep shat her the moonlight[00:03:27]

And then shat her brighten the moonlight[00:03:30]

And walk him with her down[00:03:34]

Oh[00:03:38]

He turned; he spurred to the west;[00:03:38]

He did not know who stood[00:03:41]

Now with her black over follow down[00:03:45]

Drenched with her own red blood [00:03:48]

No not till the dawn had heard it;[00:03:51]

And his face grew grey to hear[00:03:55]

How Bess the landlord's daughter [00:03:58]

The landlord's black eyed daughter [00:04:03]

Had watched for her love in the moonlight [00:04:05]

And died in the darkness there [00:04:09]

Back he spurred like a madman [00:04:14]

Shrieking a curse to the sky[00:04:17]

With the white road smoking[00:04:20]

Behind him and his rapier[00:04:22]

Brandished high [00:04:25]

Blood red were the spurs[00:04:27]

Then the golden noon;[00:04:29]

Wine red was his velvet coat [00:04:31]

When they shot him down[00:04:34]

On the highway [00:04:36]

Down like a dog on the highway [00:04:38]

And he lay in his blood on the highway [00:04:41]

With the bunch of lace at his throat [00:04:45]

And still of a winter's night they say [00:04:49]

When the wind is in the trees [00:04:52]

When the moon is a ghostly galleon [00:04:56]

Tossed upon the cloudy seas [00:05:00]

When the road is a ribbon of moonlight[00:05:03]

Over the purple moor [00:05:07]

Oh a highwayman comes riding [00:05:10]

Riding riding [00:05:14]

Yes a highwayman comes riding [00:05:17]

Up to the old indoor[00:05:21]
