Oh! Pleasant Hope

Yes I am a Highwayman I played my hand and won Rode on down from Richmond Join the other side War was raging out, 1865 Riding, cloak is flying Slapping in the breeze Money, give me all you have Maybe I'll take your life Cause the Highwayman cuts quickly Through the night Hate myself, choose the road Won't you fall this way Captain Walter understands Wash your feet and pray Money, give me all you have Cause the Highwayman cuts quickly Through the night Riding down a country road I race the silver moon Chasing shadows across the field Dogs coming soon Kick my horse and wail out loud The fog was rolling by The dust did blow, the gold was mined And the lady, heard her cry Money, give me all you have Maybe I'll save your life Cause the Highwayman's Not sure how long to last Sing easy towards the sky You know I'll find my way (Got to find my way) I got to hide away (Got to hide away) (Got to hide away) When the lightning strikes You know I'll find my way (Got to find my way) Ooh! Money, give me all you have Cause the Highwayman comes soon Cause the Highwayman cuts quickly Through the night Woo, yeah Ow, bye-bye Woo See you later, yeah Alright, woo!

You're a young man now and You toss the hair from your shoulder Feeling strong and all the young girls Are coming on bolder Back at home you know the old folks just get older Why wait around when the world should need you to lead her? Either you could be a believer Either you might have a leader There's a light to your life And your eyes are glowing much brighter There's a voice in the dark And She whispers, "You gotta hold tighter" The storm is lifted and your spirits are soaring much higher It's a race to the end but the way seems to be clearing Either you could be a believer Either you might have a leader Oh yeah There's a band in the streets Gonna play "Homecoming Soldier" Well, back in D.C. man The White House is shaking us up Cause the Senators fear that the young vote Is gonna take over, watch it You're a young man now He's got to toss his hair from his shoulder Either you could be a believer Either you might have a leader You're a young man now And you haven't got a lot to lose

Billy Joe went looking round One yellow summer day To see if he could find some grass To help him on his way But everywhere that Billy went They said the town was dry So he got to talking round And ask the reason why Oh, pleasant hope He asked the reason why Oh, pleasant hope When we're gonna get our dope Oh, pleasant hope Won't you help him on his way? Oh, pleasant hope Won't you help him on his way? They said they're burning farmers now Long live Mexico For some uncertain reason now They just won't let grass grow All we have to do is wait some more and bide our time And pretty soon the times will change And grass will flow like wine Oh, pleasant hope The grass will flow like wine Oh, pleasant hope The grass will flow like wine Oh, pleasant hope The grass will flow like wine Oh, pleasant hope The grass will flow like wine
