Songs The Minstrel Sang
Gordon Lightfoot It's almost over it's almost done It's almost easy and it's almost fun And you can't put the blame on anyone Did you get caught with your britches on Hi derry day in the month of May To the good of Robin Hood Was the song the minstrel sang Maid Marion and all the gang And his suit was the shade of evergreen His aim was mean and his shot was clean The folks he knew hadn't naught to fear When the sheriff was there they were over here Hi derry doon in the month of June Was the song the minstrel sung To the good of Robin Hood's Good name and a place to run He loved strong ale and a run down jail Was the kind of a scene where he never failed There was no man on the sea or land Who could get Maid Marion on the trail Hi derry day in the month of May To the good of Robin Hood Was the song the minstrel sang Maid Marion and all the gang She almost made it to the friar's gate It's almost over it's almost done And you can't put the blame on Marion But the old wooden bridge wouldn't elevate Was the song the minstrel sung Hi derry doon in the month of June To the good of Robin Hood's Good name and a place to run |
