Highwayman Lyrics by Ann Scott

Covers

2023

I was a highway man along the coach roads I did ride
With sword and pistol by my side
Many a young girl lost her baubles to my trade
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
They finally hung me in the spring of twenty-five
But I am still alive
I was a sailor, I was born upon the tide
And with the sea I did abide
I sailed a schooner around the horn to Mexico
I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a flow
And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
But I am living still
I was a dam builder across the river deep and wide
Where steel and water did collide
A place callеd Boulder on the wild Colorado
I slipped and fеll into the wet concrete below
They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
But I am still around and I'll always be around
I fly a starship across 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
