The Phantom Rider (A Highwaymans Tale) - The Meteors[00:00:00]
My horse spits fire when the night is cold[00:00:27]
I've been robbing all the gentlefolk since I was nine years old[00:00:30]
Stand and deliver your money or your life[00:00:34]
Give it up to the phantom rider[00:00:37]
I work along the highways that lead to London town[00:00:41]
Taking on the coaches that come from miles around[00:00:44]
Out from the dark I come pistols in me hands[00:00:48]
Show your pockets to the phantom rider[00:00:51]
Well I done my best for old king George fighting for this land[00:00:54]
I got nothing left when I come home except these pistols in me hands[00:01:01]
I smile at all the ladies as I rob all the gents[00:01:08]
I always was a sinner boys no cause now to repent[00:01:12]
And when the all are cursing me and damning me to hell[00:01:15]
I say too late for the phantom rider[00:01:18]
Well I never robbed nobody that really had enough[00:01:50]
Carve this on my headstone won't you f**k life is rough[00:01:57]
Well I hear they wanna hang me a thousand guineas paid[00:02:18]
I have to watch it now boys cause some one might get brave[00:02:21]
And for the sake of looking good I'll have to put him in his grave[00:02:24]
Sent to god by the phantom rider[00:02:28]
So I am a highwayman I'm living life I'm free[00:02:45]
But I know somewhere there's a rope and it's waiting just for me[00:02:52]
The magistrate is on my back to see if I should slip[00:02:59]
He wants to bang me up in new gate jail[00:03:02]
And swing me from the gyp[00:03:04]
But as my face is turning blue I'll spit right in his eye[00:03:06]
There ain't no grave can hold the phantom rider[00:03:09]
No you won't catch the phantom rider[00:03:12]
You can't hang the phantom rider[00:03:16]
