Well here comes a gallant Robin Hood
Heâs back from swinginâ through the trees
Heâs 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 Iâve got a wife and children
And I could use some of that generosity
See I ainât accustomed in standinâ in bread lines or gettingâ my soup for free
But the want ads cost me a dollar to buy and the news it wasnât good enough to eat
And I know youâre a man of honor, a real stand up guy
When youâre not breakinâ into peopleâs 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, Iâm just a man, just a regular joe. I donât claim to make a fantastic living
I work with my hands, not with arrows and bows
And Iâm not tryinâ to prove anything
So, what did you steal this evening?
What did you get for free?
You know Iâve 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 Iâd plant me a garden, but the kids are starving
And I havenât got the time to kill.
