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
