While riding to loch Driscoll
Upon my faithful ass
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 ho de oh
Life as a highwayman
Life as a highwayman
I buried half me treasure
And the other half is gone
Perhaps the whores 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
Life of a highwayman
Life of a highwayman
