Walk off the Earth, Ryan Guay, Ian Blackwood - The Highwayman lyrics

[Walk off the Earth, Ryan Guay, Ian Blackwood - The Highwayman lyrics]

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
