Written and originally recorded by Jimmy Webb

Insta: @stevenmcmorran
The song was influenced by the real-life hanged highwayman Jonathan Wild. Webb first recorded the song on his album El Mirage, released in May 1977. The following year, Glen Campbell recorded his version on his 1979 album Highwayman. In 1985, the song became the inspiration for the naming of the supergroup the Highwaymen, which featured Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson

So much faithfulness to the original with your own flair, absolutely love this. My opinion, this is how covers were truly meant to be!

I didn't think any cover could come close to the original. I was wrong. This is beautiful.

A good friend of mine passed away not so long ago, way to young. This song was played at the funeral and this version sounds a lot like it did there. I am thankful for this beautiful cover, so that I may always remember.

I was a highwayman, along the coach roads I did ride With sword and pistol by my side Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade Many a soldier shed his life blood on my blade The bastards hung me in the spring of '25 But I am still alive 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 to furl 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 gray tomb that knows no sound But I am still around I'll always be around and around and around And around and around and around I'll fly a star ship 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 and again

Read the lyrics. For the year it was written , would be quite ahead of it’s time. In reality, The songwriter had a vivid dream, where he remembered robbing and killing people..and then his execution. Woke up in a cold sweat. I’m guessing it was his past life. Then read up on the guy who fell into the Hoover Dam. It’s a haunting song.
