The Roches - On the Road to Fairfax County слова песни
(by David Massengill)o once I loved an outlaw he came and stole my hearto how I count the hours since we were torn aparton the road to Fairfax CountyI spied a highwaymanhe wanted all my moneymy heart beat like a drumI gave him all my moneyand sweet he smiled at me his beauty eye took pitybeneath the old oak treewe kissed but for an hourthe sun was newly warmthe clouds were as the flowersthat bloom but for a mornhe gave back all my moneyand bowed most gallantlyhe promised for to meet methat night beneath the treewe`d flee to some far islandand there we would be wedand freely we would live therewith no price upon his headthat night I went to meet himwith my inheritancehe kissed me `neath the half moonand joyful we did danceo love betrays all secretsit whispers in the breezethe sheriff he did followwith all his deputieslike hounds rushing to slaughterthe fox whose luck is runand he stood erect and cursed themGod damn you every onethey seized him in a furyand heeding not my pleathey hung him from the oak treewhere he made love to me
