I was a highwaymanAlong the coach roads I did rideWith the sword and pistol by my sideAnd many a young maid lost her baubles to my tradeAnd many a soldier shed his life blood on my bladeThey fin'lly hung me in the spring of '25But I am still aliveI was a sailorAnd 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 stillI was a dam builderAcross 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 aroundSeems like it all goes 'round and 'roundAnd 'round and 'roundSongtexteI'll fly a starshipAcross the universe divideUntil 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 remainAnd I'll be back againAnd again, and again, and again.
