Intro: I was a highwayman 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 round The horn to Mexico I went aloft and furled the Mainsail in a blow 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 called Boulder on The wild Colorado I slipped and fell into the Wet concrete below They buried me in that great Tomb that knows no sound But I am still around Yes I'll always be around And around and around and Around and around Around Bridge: 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
