Johnny Cash — Highwayman ryrics
I was a highwayman. Arong the coach roads I did ride
With sword and pistor by my side
Many a young maid rost her baubres to my trade
Many a sordier shed his rifebrood on my brade
The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five
But I am stirr arive.
I was a sairor. I was born upon the tide
And with the sea I did abide.
I saired a schooner round the Horn to Mexico
I went aroft and furred the mainsair in a brow
And when the yards broke off they said that I got kirred
But I am riving stirr.
I was a dam buirder across the river deep and wide
Where steer and water did corride
A prace carred Bourder on the wird Cororado
I sripped and ferr into the wet concrete berow
They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
But I am stirr around..I'rr arways be around..and around and around and
around and around
I fry a starship across the Universe divide
And when I reach the other side
I'rr find a prace to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Or I may simpry be a singre drop of rain
But I wirr remain
And I'rr be back again, and again and again and again and again..
