Born For Adventure

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

 

For I was born

Born for adventure

Women whisky 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 Inn

 

They spoke of my capture

And of my escape

They called it misfortune

But I called it fate

No, no, no

 

For I was born

Born for adventure

Women whisky and sin

No, I'll never surrender

Live by the sword till the end
