Finally found it for you Bob! Thanks for your tip GUEST -- thankfully, it was at the end of his first album on YouTube and not his last!

The song is called "The Highwayman" by R. Bruce. You can listen to it here, which is where I transcribed these lyrics from.


THE HIGHWAYMAN
As recorded by R. Bruce on "Late Bloomer" (2007)

We found ourselves a fancy man; a wealthy man was he.
We tied his boots together and we hung him from a tree,
Hung him from a tree.

So give him a lick with a sturdy stick and swing him round and round,
'Cause who can say what a man will pay when he's hanging upside down,
Hanging upside down?

Which we'll spend the coin on whiskey until our heads explode,
And then we'll all get naked and paint ourselves with woad,
Paint ourselves with woad.

So give him a lick with a sturdy stick and swing him round and round,
'Cause who can say what a man will pay when he's hanging upside down,
Hanging upside down?

There are wenches young, and wenches old, and wenches plump and fine,
And when it's gold enough I have, they will all be mine,
They will all be mine.

So give him a lick with a sturdy stick and swing him round and round,
'Cause who can say what a man will pay when he's hanging upside down,
Hanging upside down?

And then we'll drink, and drink some more, and drink and drink and drink,
And drink and drink, and drink some more, and drink and drink and drink,
And drink and drink and drink.

So give him a lick with a sturdy stick and swing him round and round,
'Cause who can say what a man will pay when he's hanging upside down,
Hanging upside down?
