I was a highwayman, along the coach roads I did ride My 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 25 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 of 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 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 and again and again
