Lock all the windows, shut the door
No work is to commence, after four
Don't light the lanterns, vacate the porch,
Even if you don't believe the folklore.
She'll be comin' round the mountains when she comes.
She'll be comin' round the mountains when she comes.
Highwaywoman,
She's a dangerous man.
Speaking in tongues I do not understand.
Highwaywoman,
She's a girl, she's a gun.
I swear she's making plans with me to cancel just for fun.
She's kickin' in the gate, she's tying up her hair,
Her henchman's roundin' everybody up in the square.
Yes I got a man, he's standing right there,
But I can't help but be undressed by her stare.
She'll be riding six white horses when she comes.
She'll be riding six white horses when she comes.
Highwaywoman,
She's a dangerous man.
Speaking in tongues I do not understand.
Highwaywoman,
She's a girl, she's a gun.
I swear she's making plans with me to cancel just for fun.
Don't know if it's the shock, don't know if it's the pain,
But swear to God
She's looking at me like I am Maureen and she's Wayne.
Little bit of Eastwood, little bit of Jane,
And here I am hoping that highwaywoman's gonna hijack my brain.
She'll be loading up the wagon when she leaves.
And I'll be riding right beside her when she leaves.
Highwaywoman,
She's a dangerous man.
Speaking in tongues I do not understand.
Highwaywoman,
She's a girl, she's a gun.
I swear she's making plans with me to cancel just for fun.
