Thread Name: Robin Hood ballads
Subject: RE: Robin Hood ballads
Hello,
Can't help too much with old lyrics, but one of my favorite songs is the theme to the Adventures of Robin Hood that was brodcast on BBC & CBS in the U.K. & U.S.
Chorus Robin Hood, Robin Hood, riding through 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 troubles on the English country scene And still found plenty of time to sing Chorus
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 to fight for what was right. Chorus
With Friar Tuck and Little John they had a roguish look, They did the deed the others wouldn't dare. He captured all the money that the evil sheriff took, And rescued many a lady fair. Chorus
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 to fight for what was right Chorus
