While riding to loch Driscoll Upon my faithful *** I came upon three calvary men Who demand of me a tax I pulled my trusted claymore And my pistol capped The devil take your souls and the copper coin to match I took the bounty chest rightly full of gold I yelled to the devil Here comes three more for your hole Shalah hey Heidi do ** de oh Life as a highwayman Life as a highwayman I buried half me treasure And the other half is gone Perhaps the ****** that earned it Will help the minstrel sing my song
Shadey hey hey do oh Life of a highwayman Life of a highwayman
I took the remaining treasure And arranged passage on a Ship I would tame America with The claymore on my hip
