[00:10.56] I was a highwayman. Along the coach roads I did ride
[00:17.73] With sword and pistol by my side
[00:22.66] Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
[00:28.53] Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
[00:34.14] The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five
[00:39.69] But I am still alive.
[00:46.18] I was a sailor. I was born upon the tide
[00:53.31] And with the sea I did abide.
[00:58.01] I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico
[01:03.75] I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
[01:09.63] And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
[01:15.17] But I am living still.
[01:21.74] I was a dam builder across the river deep and wide
[01:28.64] Where steel and water did collide
[01:33.58] A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
[01:39.40] I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
[01:45.57] They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
[01:50.63] But I am still around..I'll always be around..and around and around and
[02:00.05] around and around
[02:09.35] I fly a starship across the Universe divide
[02:16.09] And when I reach the other side
[02:20.71] I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
[02:26.51] Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
[02:32.56] Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
[02:37.80] But I will remain
[02:41.30] And I'll be back again, again..and again and again and again
