Sir Robin of Loxely

Outlaw Robin Hood, and his band of men Hidden in Sherwood Forest, they had a large den His deeds were known all over the county On his head there was a large bounty They were feared by the bad, and evil Loved by the good, honest, and feeble The Sheriff of Nottingham, was an evil man He taxed the people for all he can He knew Robin, robbed the rich for all he could And gave back to the poor as they knew he would In local inns, posters could be found 'Dead or Alive', and you will be crowned The Sheriff had an ally, King John, self made Who's brother King Richard, was on a crusade Had bold and brave men fighting on behalf of his aid The Sheriff's men they always tried to evade Robin Hood's men, were strong and brave Making friends of the people who's families they saved On return to his home land, from his grueling crusade Discovered the true intentions, in the way Robin, behaved So off to Nottingham, to pardon Robin, and his men King Richard, back on the throne content and pleased Maid Marian, to Robin, her hand was bequeathed Now 'Sir Robin', of Loxely', was given his land, title and deeds
