The Broad Highway 1924

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 04 May 2004

I seek adventure, wild adventure,
Knight of the road
is the name I bear,
I want the danger,
thrills and danger,
fearing no mortal,
for none do I care.
Deep in the byways that wind
I am willing to take love
if love I can find,
when stars are shining,
arms entwining
nestling in hedges
nestling so near,
sweets that are stolen ever are dear.

But with the morning when day is dawning,
blue sky above
then farewell to love, I'm away!

There's a road that winds so free,
to adventure land,
there's a road that calls to me,
I march and follow its command!
Where it leads I do not care
I will do and dare,
Stars overhead,
straw for my bed
danger and thrill come as they will
Happy am I by night and day!

I have naught to lose
and none to pay
as I go marching on the broad highway!
