The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed on the cloudy seas The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor And the highwayman came riding The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door The highwayman, the highwayman The highwayman came riding, riding, up to the old inn-door Up to the old inn-door One kiss, my Bonny sweetheart, I'm after a prize tonight But I shall be back with the yellow gold before the morning light Yet, if they press me sharply, Lord, carry me through the day Then watch for me by moonlight I'll come to thee by moonlight, though Hell should bar the way The highwayman, the highwayman The highwayman came riding, riding, up to the old inn-door Up to the old inn-door Oh then to the door of the Inn-yard, King George's men did ride And they bound the landlord's daughter, with a musket at her side And a shot rang out in the moonlight, she whispered her last breath She shot herself in the moonlight, she killed herself in the moonlight And warned him with her death The highwayman, the highwayman The highwayman came riding, riding, up to the old inn-door Up to the old inn-door Oh back, he spurred like a madman, shrieking a curse to the sky With the white road smoking behind him and his rapier brandished high Blood red were his spurs in the golden noon, wine-red was his velvet coat When they shot him down on the highway, down like a dog on the highway And he lay in his blood on the road And still of a winter's night, they say, when the wind is in the trees When the moon is a ghostly galleon tossed on the cloudy seas When the road is a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor A highwayman comes riding A highwayman comes riding, up to the old inn-door Up to the old inn-door (Up to the old inn-door)
