📋 Lyrics
There's no life that's more enticing,
In this wide world all around,
Than the life of highway robbers,
Killing for the sweet, sweet pound!
Stalking through the forest green,
Taking from the rich and mean,
If we lack for gold or gown,
From the travelers, it is found.
Should a wealthy man pass by,
He'll be halted with our cry.
With his wealth, he can't be bold,
We're the bandits, fierce and cold.
If a carriage rolls our way,
We won't ask, we'll just... (Slay!)
Slash! And stab! And shoot to kill!
Such a life is such a thrill.
Steal and stab and strike and seize,
Break the bones and take the ease,
Rob the wealthy of their gold,
Highway robbers we are bold.
Let the body swing and dangle,
Living large and live to mangle,
No one's safe, no one's spared,
Fear the shadows, be prepared.
When we see the gallows stand,
We can't help but understand:
Someday soon 'll be our fate,
One day we'll meet the hanging gate.
So we leave world's strife behind,
Climb the ladder, of one mind,
Swaying gently in the breeze,
Till we rot with utmost ease.
Steal and stab and strike and seize,
Break the bones and take the ease,
Rob the wealthy of their gold,
Highway robbers we are bold.
Let the body swing and dangle,
Living large and live to mangle,
No one's safe, no one's spared,
Fear the shadows, be prepared.
Slash and stab, and shoot to slay,
We highway robbers rule the way!
With sword and gun, we seize the scene,
Highway robbers, that's the dream!
Until the bodies start to sway,
And the bones turn white someday,
Yet we'll embrace the open sky,
As we hang from the gallows high!
