Lyrics[]
I'm the Highway man!
I make ends meet
Just like any man
I'm The Highway Man - Over the Garden Wall
The Highwayman Song (animated)
I work with my hands
If you cross my path,
I'll knock you out
Drag you off the road
Steal your shoes from off your feet
I'm the Highway man
And I make ends meet....(drags finger across throat)
