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....
