Song title: Johnny Cash - Highwayman

Edit By: 216.73.217.165

I was a highwayman. Along the coach roads I did ride
 With sword and pistol by my side
 Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
 Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
 The bastards 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..I'll always be around..and around and around and
 around and around

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, and again and again and again and again..
