Glen Campbell - Highwayman Lyrics
I was a highwayman along the coach roads I did rideWith the sword and pistol by my sideMany a young maid lost her baubles to my tradeMany a soldier shed his life blood on my bladeThe bastards hung me in the spring of '25But I am still aliveI was a sailor, I was born upon the tideAnd with the sea I did abideI sailed a schooner 'round the horn of MexicoI went aloft to furl the mainsail in a blowAnd when the yards broke off they say that I got killedBut I am living still, perhaps I'll always, I don't knowI was a dam builder across the river deep and wideWhere steel and water did collideA place called Boulder on the wild ColoradoI slipped and fell into the wet concrete belowThey buried me in that great tomb that knows no soundBut I am still around, seems like it all goes 'round and 'round and 'roundAnd 'round and 'round yes it goes when here we goI'll fly a starship across the universe divideAnd when I reach the other sideI'll find a place to rest my spirit if I canPerhaps I may become a highwayman againOr I may simply be a single drop of rainBut I will remain and I'll be back againYes, I will when here we go but I'll be back againYes, I will when here we go but I'll be back again
