Phil Ochs did "The Highwayman". The San Francisco 60's rock band Mad River did Wm. Blake's 'Little Fly'
Little Fly,
Thy summer's play
My thoughtless hand
Hath brushed away.

Am I not
A fly like thee.
Or at thou not
A man like me.

For I laugh
And dance and sing
'til some blind hand
Shall brush my wing
