BEWARE THE HIGHWAYMAN
Parody of "Don't Pay the Ferryman" by Chris DeBurgh
Parody lyrics by Lance Woods

'Twas an autumn night
On a country lane
Travelling alone through a glade
Which had a rather nasty reputation.
There were legends told
Of a ruthless thief
Who preyed upon a rider's fatigue.
I tensed and kept my scabbard at the ready.
As I glanced around,
'Twas not a soul to be found.
Though I believed my eyes --
(Thou blew it!)
Much to my surprise --
(Thou blew it!)
A dagger touched me from behind!
(The warning was true!)

CHORUS:	Beware the Highwayman!
	His heart's as cold as ice!
	Beware the Highwayman
	For you will never live to meet him twice!

As a fighter, I
Never did excel,
But when he demanded my purse,
I drew my sword, determined to survive him.
Then he drew his own
And a duel ensued,
Though it didn't last very long,
For I forgot he did this for a living ...
As I prepared for the end,
He said, "A pity, my friend.
"Now give me all your gold!"
(Don't do it!)
"GIVE ME ALL YOUR GOLD!"
(DON'T DO IT!)
"For you won't need it anymore!"
(Or weren't you told?)

CHORUS
