Poorboy (The Greenwood)

Lyrics for Poorboy (The Greenwood)

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
