- The greenwood tree is where I'll be free as the skies
above.
- There's no deceit, no devilry
in quiet glades I love.
- All those wronged and
who've lost their land are welcome in our merry band,
- In Sherwood.
-
- When evil men tell lies, then you'll find justice hard to find.
- These tyrants thrive in lawful guise with pockets fully lined.
- All those wronged and now on the run can join me in the
goodly sun,
- In Sherwood.
-
- If hunting has made you an outlaw best that you join me.
- Here friends are true and you'll be free as birdies in the tree.
- Care you'll find with lots of good cheer; the Sheriff will never find you here,
- In Sherwood.
-
- Try trusting in the
Sheriff, and you'll find yourself
undone,
- It won't be long before you're lying deep in his
dungeon.
- All those wronged and now on the run can join me in the
goodly sun.
- In Sherwood.
