Poor Boy (The Greenwood) lyrics
Song information
Artist: Electric Light Orchestra Album: Eldorado
Lyrics
Me I'm just a poor boy, from across the far southland And I've traveled many days to reach this place to mke my stand I fell in with a merry band, and drank away the hours
Chorus 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 hand Of the thieving dukes and abbotts, and the gentry of the land
Chorus 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, The dancing girls and the open fires, the wine that flows like water
Chorus Rollin' on, I've been rollin' on And my head is high, from the battle won Laid down my life for the greenwood
