The Highwayman (Charlie Poole) 
As I went down to the old depot To see the train roll by I thought I seen my dear old girl Hang down her head and cry 
The night was dark and stormy It surely looked like rain Not a friend in this whole wide world Nobody knew my name 
Nobody knew my name, poor boy, Nobody knew my name Not a friend in this whole wide world No one knew my name 
Wait, Mr. Judge, oh, wait, Mr. Judge Wait a little while I think I saw my dear old girl She’s walked for miles and miles 
Dear girl, have you brought me silver? Dear girl, have you brought me gold? Or have you walked these long, long miles To see me hanged upon a hangman’s pole? 
Dear boy, I’ve brought you silver Dear boy, I’ve brought you gold I have not walked these long, long miles To see you hanged upon a hangman’s pole 
She takes me from the scaffold She untied my hands Tears rolled down that poor girl’s cheeks "I love that highwayman"
