Willie Nelson - Highwayman lyrics
I was a highwayman
 Along the coach roads, I did ride
 My sword and pistol by my side
 Many a young maid lost her babbles to my trade
 Many a soldier shed his life blood 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
 The way of the sea I did abide
 I sailed a schooner 'round the Horn of Mexico
 I went aloft to furl the mainsail, so little 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 wideWillie Nelson - Highwayman - http://motolyrics.com/willie-nelson/highwayman-lyrics.html
 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 grey 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
 I fly a star ship
 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
