Lyrics Highwayman - Johnny Cash
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
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
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
and
again
