| I am the thief of the highway | |
| Rich man you better take hold' | |
| Cause last night while you lie sleeping | |
| I came to steal all your gold | |
| All the king's horses, all the king's men | |
| Surrounded the chapel to trap me within | |
| A lady in waiting, lips red with rouge | |
| She offered me pleasures, | |
| I could not refuse, no, no, no, no | |
| For I was born, born for adventure, women, whiskey and sin | |
| No, I'll never surrender, live by the sword till the end | |
| All the king's horses, all the king's men | |
| Were drinking and dancing, at | |
| Fezewig's | |
| InnThey spoke of my capture and of my escape | |
| They called it misfortune but | |
| I called it fate, no, no, no, no | |
| For I was born, born for adventure, women, whiskey and sin | |
| No, I'll never surrender, live by the sword till the end |
