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
5
Lost her baubles to my trade
6
Many a soldier shed
7
His lifeblood on my blade
8
The bastards hung me
9
In the spring of twenty-five
10
But I am still alive
11
I was a sailor
12
I was born upon the tide
13
With the sea I did abide
14
I sailed a schooner
15
'Round the Horn to Mexico
16
I went aloft and furled
17
The mainsail in a blow
18
And when the yards broke off
19
They said that I got killed
20
But I am livin' still
21
I was a dam builder
22
Across the river deep and wide
23
Where steel and water did collide
24
A place called Boulder
25
On the wild Colorado
26
I slipped and fell into
27
The wet concrete below
28
They buried me in
29
That great tomb
30
That knows no sound
31
But I am still around
32
I'll always be around
33
And around and around
34
And around and around
35
And around
36
I fly a starship
37
'Cross the Universe divide
38
And when I reach the other side
39
I'll find a place to rest
40
My spirit if I can
41
Perhaps, I may become
42
A highwayman again
43
Or I may simply be
44
A single drop of rain
45
But I will remain
46
And I'll be back again
47
And again and again
48
And again and again
49
And again
