Lyrics

[00:12.03] I was a highwayman
[00:13.46]
[00:14.48] Along the coach roads I did ride
[00:16.58]
[00:19.14] With sword and pistol by my side
[00:21.33]
[00:24.38] Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
[00:27.41]
[00:30.38] Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
[00:33.75]
[00:36.57] The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five
[00:39.73]
[00:42.15] But I am still alive
[00:43.54]
[00:48.86] I was a sailor
[00:49.73]
[00:51.19] I was born upon the tide
[00:53.40]
[00:55.73] And with the sea I did abide
[00:58.00]
[01:00.54] I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico
[01:03.94]
[01:06.68] I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
[01:09.83]
[01:12.81] And when the yards broke off they said
[01:14.95] That I got killed
[01:16.08]
[01:18.24] But I am living still
[01:19.49]
[01:24.85] I was a dam builder
[01:26.37]
[01:27.22] Across the river deep and wide
[01:29.33]
[01:31.71] Where steel and water did collide
[01:33.95]
[01:36.73] A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
[01:39.81]
[01:42.66] I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
[01:45.68]
[01:48.54] They buried me in that great to that knows no sound
[01:52.21]
[01:53.95] But I am still around
[01:55.34]
[01:57.19] I'll always be around
[01:59.11]
[01:59.62] And around and around and around
[02:02.90]
[02:12.31] I fly a star ship
[02:13.57]
[02:14.69] Across the Universe divide
[02:16.74]
[02:19.38] And when I reach the other side
[02:21.59]
[02:24.20] I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
[02:27.65]
[02:30.40] Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
[02:33.64]
[02:36.23] Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
[02:39.90]
[02:41.85] But I will remain
[02:43.12]
[02:45.37] And I'll be back again
[02:47.80] And again and again and again
