Highwayman (2010) Jimmy Webb (Ft. Mark Knopfler)

I was a highwayman
Along the coach roads I did ride
With sword and pistol by my side

And many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
And many a soldier shed his life blood on my blade
They finally hung me in the spring of '25
But I am still alive

I was a sailor
And 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 great tomb that knows no sound
But I am still around
