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