You think if you set the price they'll turn me in   You think that when I'm up upon the pike you'll win   They'll say that I was fighting   For the spirit of the law   What will they say about you   When I'm gone      You murdered and you stole you mocked the hope I gave   Though I'd prefer a happy end no man can cheat the grave   I know what they'll remember   In the words of every song   What will they say about you   When I'm gone      They'll say   We stared into the wind that tore away our breath   We left behind a message that can not be claimed by death   A hero lives forever   For the ones that carry on   What will they say about you   When I'm gone
