Lyrics

Well, I was a highwayman
On the coach roads I did ride
Sword and pistol by my side
Many a young maid lost her boy
Boast to my trade
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood
On my blade
The bastards hung me in the spring of '25
But I am still alive
Well, I was a sailor
I was born upon the tide
And with the sea I did abide
I sailed a schooner round the horn to Mexico
I went aloft, unfurled the mainsail in a blow
And when the yards broke off, they said that I got killed
But I am livin' still
Well, I was a dam builder
'Cross that river deep and wide
Where steel and water did collide
A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
But I am still around
I'll always be around
And around and around
And around and around
Well, I'll fly a starship
'Cross the universe divide
And when I reach the other side
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
But I will remain
And I'll be back again
And again and again
And again and again
