Poorboy (The Greenwood)

Lyrics

Me, I'm just a poor boy from across the far South lands
 And I've traveled many days to reach this place, to make my stand
 Oh, and I fell in with a merry band and drank away the hours
 Rollin' on, I've been rollin' on
 And my head is high from the battle won
 Laid down my life for the Greenwood
 
 The city boys and the country boys, they come from miles around
 To defy their King and country, save the poor folks from the hands
 Of the thieving dukes and abbots and the gentry of the land
 Rollin' on, I've been rollin' on
 And my head is high from the battle won
 Laid down my life for the Greenwood
 
 Sweet maid Marion, don't you do me no wrong
 Stay on the right side, the Greenwood is your home
 All the dancing girls and the open fires
 And the wine that flows like water
 Rollin' on, I've been rollin' on
 And my head is high from the battle won
 Laid down my life for the Greenwood
