VERSE 1:
FEmorty thousand headmen couldn't mAm7ake me change my mind
If I Bm7had to take the choice between the dAm7eafman and the blind
I kBm7now just where my feet should go and tAm7hat's enough for me
I tBm7urned around and knocked them down and wAm7alked a/Gcross theEm sea
Em Em6/9 Em Em6/9
VERSE 2:
Hadn't travelled very far when suddenly I saw
Three small ships a sailin' towards a distant shore
So lighting up a cigarette I followed in pursuit
And found a secret cave where they obviously stashed their loot
CHORUS 1:
FE7illing up my pockets even sA7tuffed it up my nose
IE7 must have weighed a hundreA7d tons between my head and toes
IE7 ventured forth before the A7dawn had time to change it's mind
And sE7oaring high above the clouds I fA7ound a g/Golden sEmhrine
VERSE 3:
Laying down my treasure before the iron gate
Quickly rang the bell, hoped 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"
CHORUS 2:
So I turned around and 40,000 headmen bit the dirt
Firing twenty 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 I was heading down the road
CODA:
Heading down the Emroad
Forty thousand headmen on my trail
Rambling and rambling
Rambling and rambling...
With forty thousand headmen on my trail
