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