מילים לשיר Songs The Minstrel Sang – Gordon Lightfoot

It's almost over it's almost done
It's almost easy and it's almost fun
And you can't put the blame on anyone
Did you get caught with your britches on Hi derry day in the month of May
To the good of Robin Hood
Was the song the minstrel sang
Maid Marion and all the gang And his suit was the shade of evergreen
His aim was mean and his shot was clean
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 Marion on the trail Hi derry day in the month of May
To the good of Robin Hood
Was the song the minstrel sang
Maid Marion and all the gang She almost made it to the friar's gate
It's almost over it's almost done
And you can't put the blame on Marion But the old wooden bridge wouldn't elevate
Was the song the minstrel sung
Hi derry doon in the month of June
To the good of Robin Hood's
Good name and a place to run.
