Poor Boy [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

Oh, 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
