Artist/Band: Blood Sweat And Tears
Lyrics for Song: 40,000 Headmen
Lyrics for Album: Blood, Sweat & Tears 3 [1970]



Forty thousand headmen couldn't make me change my mind

If I had to take the choice between the deaf man and the blind

I know just where my feet should go and that's enough for me

I turned around and knocked them down

And walked across the sea.



Hadn't traveled 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



Filling up my pockets even stuffed it up my nose

I must have weighed a hundred tons between my head and toes

I ventured forth before the dawn had time to change it's mind

And soaring high above the clouds I found a golden shrine.



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"



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.



Heading down the road,

Forty thousand headmen on my trail
