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
