1
I was a highwayman.
2
Along the coach roads I did ride
3
With sword and pistol by my side
4
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
5
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
6
The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five
7
But I am still alive.
8
I was a sailor.
9
I was born upon the tide
10
And with the sea I did abide.
11
I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico
12
I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
13
And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
14
But I am living still.
15
I was a dam builder.
16
Across the river deep and wide
17
Where steel and water did collide
18
A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
19
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
20
They buried me in that great tob that knows no sound
21
But I am still around
22
I'll always be around
23
And around and around and around and around.
24
I fly a star ship.
25
Across the Universe divide
26
And when I reach the other side
27
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
28
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
29
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
30
But I will remain
31
And I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again...
