Laid down my life for the Greenwood
Stay on the right side
Don't you do me no wrong
To reach this place to make my stand
Rollin' on, I've been rollin' on
And the gentry of the land
And my head is high from the battle won
And my head is high from the battle won
Ohh
To defy their King and country
Rollin' on, I've been rollin' on
And the wine that flows like water
Ohh
All the dancing girls and the open fires
Rollin' on, I've been rollin' on
And I've traveled many days
The city boys and the country boys
Oh, and I fell in with a merry band
Of the thieving dukes and abbots
The Greenwood is your home
Laid down my life for the Greenwood
Ohh
Save the poor folks from the hand
And my head is high from the battle won
Sweet maid Marion
And drank away the hours
Laid down my life for the Greenwood
They come from miles around
