Simon Joyner - Robin Hood lyrics

Well here comes a gallant Robin Hood He's back from swingin' through the trees He's got silver wrapped around his fingers And gold driven deep into his teeth Hey, what did you steal this morning? What did you get for free? You know I've got a wife and children And I could use some of that generosity See I ain't accustomed in standin' in bread lines or getting' my soup for free But the want ads cost me a dollar to buy and the news it wasn't good enough to eat And I know you're a man of honor, a real stand up guy When you're not breakin' into people's homes while they sleep You know how to impale and how to hold your ale And your heart goes out to folks like me You want the princes purged from their palaces You want to spread the wealth around While the criminals line up for portraits Wearing royal hand me downs Well me, I'm just a man, just a regular joe. I don't claim to make a fantastic living I work with my hands, not with arrows and bows And I'm not tryin' to prove anything So, what did you steal this evening? What did you get for free? You know I've got a wife and children And your good deeds are legendary I only came to you cause I lost my means And I heard you had more than your fill You know I'd plant me a garden, but the kids are starving And I haven't got the time to k**.
