(Roamin' Thro' The Gloamin' With) 40.000 Headman

Lyrics

40,000 headmen, they couldn't make me change my mind
 If I had to take the choice between the deaf man and the blind
 I know just where my feet should go and that's enough for me
 So I turned around and knocked them down and walked across the sea
 Hadn't traveled very far, when suddenly I saw
 Three small ships are sailing out towards a distant shore
 So lighting up a cigarette, I followed in pursuit
 And found a secret cave, where they obviously stashed their loot
 They're filling up my pockets, even stuffed it up my nose
 Well, I must have weighed a hundred tons between my head and toes
 But I ventured forth before the dawn, had time to change its mind
 And soaring high above the clouds, I found a golden shrine
 Laying down my treasure before the iron gate
 Quickly rang the bell hoping I hadn't come too late
 But someone came along and told me not to waste my time
 And when I asked him, who he was, he said, "Just look behind"
 Well, I turned around and 40,000 headmen hit the dirt
 Firing 20 shotguns each and, man, it really hurt
 But luckily for me they had to stop and then reload
 And by the time they'd done that I was heading down the road
 Heading down the road
 Heading down the road
 Rolling and rumbling
 Rolling and rumbling
 Rolling and rumbling
 With 40,000 headmen on my tail
 40,000 headmen on my tail
 Thank you
