The Highwayman - Alfred Noyes - Helen And Amy
BackBased on the Alfred Noyes poem. Additional words and music by Helen and Amy. Here are the lyrics as requested, sorry it's taken so long. The Highwayman The wind was a torrent of darkness Upon the gusty trees The moon was a ghostly galleon Tossed upon cloudy seas And the highwayman came riding-- Riding--riding-- The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn door. He whistled a tune to the window, And who should be waiting there But Bess the landlords daughter With a love knot in her hair Kisses that tasted the sweetest Stolen in the light of the moon Two hearts together connected Would their love now become their tomb? Then look for me by moonlight, Watch for me by moonlight, I'll come to thee by moonlight, though hell should bar the way. The highwayman came the next night Came clattering into the yard He did not know his sweetheart Was held inside by the guard She heard the cobblestones clatter Pulled the trigger took her last breath It sounded out in the moonlight And warned him with her death For Bess, the landlord's daughter, The landlord's black-eyed daughter, Had watched for her love in the moonlight, and died in the darkness there. That highway man came riding up Heard the warning and took flight Galloped madly away to the west Death ringing out in the moonlight They shot him down in the moonlight Down like a dog in the highway They were waiting for him that night As the moon was lighting the way Now the road lay bare in the moonlight, Blank and bare in the moonlight, And the blood in his veins, in the moonlight, flowed out to his love's refrain But still on a moonlit night its said When the wind is in the trees When the moon is a ghostly galleon Tossed upon cloudy seas The highwayman comes riding-- Riding--riding-- The highwayman comes riding, to his love at the old inn door.
