Many a young maid lost her baubles

Many a soldier shed his lifeblood

The bastards hung me

in the spring of twenty-five

But I am still alive

I sailed a schooner 'round the Horn

they said that I got killed

But I am living still

A place called Boulder

I'll find a place to rest my spirit

a single drop of rain

But I will remain

I'll be back again and again

and again and again
G

and again and again
