To the good of Robin Hood
And you can't put the blame on anyone
And his suit was the shade of evergreen
He loved strong ale and a run down jail
Did you get caught with your britches on?
Hi, derry doon in the month of June
Hi, derry day in the month of May
To the good of Robin Hood
It's almost over, it's almost done
Was the song the minstrel sang
She almost made it to the friar's gate
Maid Marion and all the gang
Good name and a place to run
Who could get Maid Marion on the trail
Was the song the minstrel sang
Maid Marion and all the gang
To the good of Robin Hood's
The folks he knew, hadn't naught to fear
Was the song the minstrel sung
Hi, derry day in the month of May
There was no man on the sea or land
To the good of Robin Hood's
It's almost over, it's almost done
His aim was mean and his shot was clean
It's almost easy and it's almost fun
Was the kind of a scene where he never failed
But the old wooden bridge wouldn't elevate
Hi, derry doon in the month of June
Was the song the minstrel sung
And you can't put the blame on Marion
When the sheriff was there, they were over here
