On the Road to Fairfax County Lyrics by David Massengill

CooP - Fast Folk Musical Magazine, Vol. 1, No. 1

[Verse 1]
O once I loved an outlaw
He came and stole my heart
O how I count the hours
Since we were torn apart
[Verse 2]
On the road to Fairfax County
I spied a highwayman
He wanted all my money
My heart beat like a drum
[Verse 3]
I gave him all my money
And sweet he smiled at me
His beauty I took pity
Beneath a black oak tree
[Verse 4]
We kissed but for an hour
The sun was newly warm
The clouds were as the flowers
That bloom but for a morn
[Verse 5]
He gave back all my money
And bowed most gallantly
He promised for to meet mе
That night beneath the tree
[Verse 6]
Wе'd flee to some far island
And there we would be wed
And freely we would live there
With no price upon his head
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 7]
That night I went to meet him
With my inheritance
He kissed me 'neath the half moon
And joyful we did dance
[Verse 8]
O love betrays all secrets
It whispers in the breeze
The sheriff, he did follow
With all his deputies
[Verse 9]
Like hounds rushing to slaughter
The fox whose luck is run
And he stood erect and cursed them
"Goddamn you every one!"
[Verse 10]
They seized him in a fury
And heeding not my plea
They hung him from the oak tree
Where he made love to me
[Verse 1]
O once I loved an outlaw
He came and stole my heart
O how I count the hours
Since we were torn apart
