[00: 10.00] I was a highwayman, along the coach roads I did ride
[00: 17.00] With sword and pistol by my side
[00: 22.00] Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
[00: 28.00] Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
[00: 34.00] The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five
[00: 39.00] But I am still alive
[00: 45.00] I was a sailor, I was born upon the tide
[00: 53.00] And with the sea I did abide
[00: 57.00] I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico
[01: 03.00] I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
[01: 09.00] And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
[01: 14.00] But I am living still
[01: 21.00] I was a dam builder, across the river deep and wide
[01: 28.00] Where steel and water did collide
[01: 33.30] A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
[01: 38.50] I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
[01: 44.50] They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
[01: 50.20] But I am still around, I'll always be around and around
[01: 57.20] And around and around and around
[02: 08.20] I fly a starship across the Universe divide
[02: 15.30] And when I reach the other side
[02: 20.20] I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
[02: 26.00] Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
[02: 31.60] Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
[02: 37.30] But I will remain and I'll be back again
[02: 42.00] And again and again and again and again
