Here's one version by Frankie Laine.

Robin Hood
By Frankie Laine

REFRAIN

Robin Hood, Robin Hood, riding thru the glen,
Robin Hood, Robin Hood, with his band of men
Feared by the bad, loved by the good
Robin Hood, Robin Hood, Robin Hood

He called the greatest archers to a tavern on the green
They vowed to help the people of the King
They handled all the trouble on the English country scene
And still found plenty of time to sing

REFRAIN

He came to Sherwood Forest with a feather in his cap
A fighter never looking for a fight
His bow was always ready and he kept his arrows sharp
He used them fighting for what was right

With Friar Tuck, Dale and Little John, they had a roguish look
They did the deeds that others wouldn't dare
Recaptured all the money that the evil sheriff took
And rescued many a lady fair

MUSIC REPEAT OF REFRAIN

(Next verse not on this Frankie Laine version)

To cheating and corruption he would never, never yield
And danger was his breakfast ev'ry day
The cobbler in the hamlet and the farmer in the field
Were always helping him get away

REFRAIN

He rode up to the palace and was cheered by ev'ry one
His Lady Marian threw him a rose
The King of England knighted him the Earl of Huntingdon
And that's the way the legend goes

REFRAIN
