An extended version of the song released in Mexico contains an additional verse:
- And the highwayman stands blowing on his fingers by the green
- I've walked inside his shoes before so I always buy his magazine
- He's with a local mystery with blood stains on her hands
- I like the way she winks at me but I leave her with the highwayman
The song's lyrics pay homage to the city of Edinburgh, Scotland.
