HIGHWAY MAN

JOHNNY CASH

Capo II

Key:

I was a h ighwayman. Along the coach roads I did ride

W ith sword and p istol by my side

M any a yo ung maid lost her baubles to my trade

M any a so ldier shed his lifeblood on my blade

T he bastards h ung me in the spring of twenty -five

B ut I am still a live.

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 a roun d an d aro und.. .

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..
