I was a highwayman, along the coach roads I did rideWith sword and pistol by my sideMany a young maid lost her baubles to my tradeMany a soldier shed his life blood on my bladeThe bastards hung me in the spring of '25But I am still aliveI was a sailor, I was born upon the tideAnd with the sea I did abideI sailed a schooner 'round the horn to MexicoI went aloft to furl the mainsail in a blowAnd when the yards broke off, they said that I got killedBut I am living stillI was a dam builder across the river deep and wideWhere steel and water did collideA place called Boulder on the wild ColoradoI slipped and fell into the wet concrete belowThey buried me in that gray tomb that knows no soundBut I am still aroundI'll always be around and around and aroundAnd around and around and aroundI'll fly a star ship across the universe divideAnd when I reach the other sideI'll find a place to rest my spirit if I canPerhaps I may become a highwayman againOr I may simply be a single drop of rainBut I will remainAnd I'll be back again and again and againAnd again and again and again
