《The Phantom Rider (A Highwaymans Tale)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Phantom Rider (A Highwaymans Tale) - The Meteors

[00:00:27] My horse spits fire when the night is cold

[00:00:30] I've been robbing all the gentlefolk since I was nine years old

[00:00:34] Stand and deliver your money or your life

[00:00:37] Give it up to the phantom rider

[00:00:41] I work along the highways that lead to London town

[00:00:44] Taking on the coaches that come from miles around

[00:00:48] Out from the dark I come pistols in me hands

[00:00:51] Show your pockets to the phantom rider

[00:00:54] Well I done my best for old king George fighting for this land

[00:01:01] I got nothing left when I come home except these pistols in me hands

[00:01:08] I smile at all the ladies as I rob all the gents

[00:01:12] I always was a sinner boys no cause now to repent

[00:01:15] And when the all are cursing me and damning me to hell

[00:01:18] I say too late for the phantom rider

[00:01:50] Well I never robbed nobody that really had enough

[00:01:57] Carve this on my headstone won't you f**k life is rough

[00:02:18] Well I hear they wanna hang me a thousand guineas paid

[00:02:21] I have to watch it now boys cause some one might get brave

[00:02:24] And for the sake of looking good I'll have to put him in his grave

[00:02:28] Sent to god by the phantom rider

[00:02:45] So I am a highwayman I'm living life I'm free

[00:02:52] But I know somewhere there's a rope and it's waiting just for me

[00:02:59] The magistrate is on my back to see if I should slip

[00:03:02] He wants to bang me up in new gate jail

[00:03:04] And swing me from the gyp

[00:03:06] But as my face is turning blue I'll spit right in his eye

[00:03:09] There ain't no grave can hold the phantom rider

[00:03:12] No you won't catch the phantom rider

[00:03:16] You can't hang the phantom rider
