| Intro: |
| I was a highwayman |
| Along the coach roads I did ride |
| With sword and pistol by my side |
| Many a young girl lost her |
| Baubles to my trade |
| Many a soldier shed his lifeblood |
| On my blade |
| They finally 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 |
| Yes I'll always be around |
| And around and around and |
| Around and around |
| 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 |
