|
I am the thief of the highway |
|
Rich man you better take hold' |
|
Cause last night while you lie sleeping |
|
I came to steal all your gold |
|
All the king's horses, all the king's men |
|
Surrounded the chapel to trap me within |
|
A lady in waiting, lips red with rouge |
|
She offered me pleasures, |
|
I could not refuse, no, no, no, no |
|
For I was born, born for adventure, women, whiskey and sin |
|
No, I'll never surrender, live by the sword till the end |
|
All the king's horses, all the king's men |
|
Were drinking and dancing, at |
|
Fezewig's |
|
InnThey spoke of my capture and of my escape |
|
They called it misfortune but |
|
I called it fate, no, no, no, no |
|
For I was born, born for adventure, women, whiskey and sin |
|
No, I'll never surrender, live by the sword till the end |
