My version of the Highway Man


The night came and the full moon rose,
High in the sky and then it froze,
Clip-Clop, Clip-Clop,

The silent plodding of a horse nearby,
Raised my fears and them high,
Clip-Clop, Clip-Clop,

Every full moon it was the same,
It was the night when the Highway Man came,
Clip-Clop, Clip-Clop,

He came alone in the dark of the night,
Goosebumps formed as he came to sight,
Clip-Clop, Clip-Clop,

Off his horse he came quiet as a mouse,
His eyes wondering from house to house,
Tip-Tap, Tip-Tap,

Which of the houses would he rob,
The night was filled with a silent sob,
Tip-Tap, Tip-Tap,

He disappeared into his victim's house,
Followed by loud screams and shouts,
Tip-Tap, Tip-Tap,

All were stabbed and none survived,
We'll carry on until he next arrives,
Clip-Clop, Clip-Clop,

Wiping the blood off his sword,
off he rode the evil lord,
Clip-Clop, Clip-Clop,

Was it for fun? Nobody knew,
But we hoped he was haunted by all those he slew,
Clip-Clop, Clip-Clop,
