The Highwayman's Betrayal - Studio-Quality AI Music Generator by Tangra AI

The moon was a sliver above the dark moor,I galloped my mare to her ivy-clad door.With a purse full of coins from the coach on the hill,I came for a kiss and to boast of the thrill.I tossed her a necklace of emeralds and lace,But I saw a strange look on her beautiful face.She beckoned me in with a glass of red wine,And whispered, "My darling, you’ll always be mine."Oh, the gallows are high and the rope is so tight,Betrayed by my lady in the dead of the night.Raise up your glasses and drink to my name,The lass of the valley has put me to shame.Oh, the gallows are high and the rope is so tight,Betrayed by my lady in the dead of the night.I woke to the sound of the King’s heavy boots,My pistols were empty, my plans in cahoots.For Molly had emptied the powder away,While I lay there dreaming of our wedding day.She stood by the window, the coins in her hand,The prettiest traitor in all of the land.She sold me for bounty, she sold me for spite,And left me to swing in the morning’s cold light.Oh, the gallows are high and the rope is so tight,Betrayed by my lady in the dead of the night.Raise up your glasses and drink to my name,The lass of the valley has put me to shame.Oh, the gallows are high and the rope is so tight,Betrayed by my lady in the dead of the night.So here is a lesson for bold highwaymen,Don't trust to a wink or a lady’s soft pen.They’ll love you for silver, they’ll love you for gold,Then trade in your life before the story is told.Oh, the gallows are high and the rope is so tight,Betrayed by my lady in the dead of the night.Raise up your glasses and drink to my name,The lass of the valley has put me to shame.Oh, the gallows are high and the rope is so tight,Betrayed by my lady in the dead of the night.Swing high, swing low.To the devil I go.Drink up, boys.
