Robin Hood - For The Wearing Of The Green CHORUS For the wearing of the green, for the wearing of the green They're hanging men and women for the wearing of the green. Oh. Pretty dear and did you hear the news that's goin' round? Our love is by law forbid to grow on sacred ground. King Richard's Day no more keep his colours can't be seen For they hangin' men and women for the wearing of the green. I met with the dear old friar and he took me by the hand. He said: "How's dear old Marianne and how does she stand?" She's the most kind-hearted woman that you have ever seen But they're hanging men and women for the wearing of the green. CHORUS For the wearing of the green, for the wearing of the green They're hanging men and women for the wearing of the green. And if the colour we must wear is England's cruel red, Shure Robin's sons will ne'er forget the blood that they have shed. You may take the gold from our hands and cast it down the sod, I will take all root and flourish there, to' my king 'and his command. My father loved his country and sweeped it within his breast, But if I had one that died for her must ever soul be blessed. Most tears me mother shad for me, how'd bitter they had been, If I had proven traitor for the wearing of the green. CHORUS For the wearing of the green, for the wearing of the green They're hanging men and women for the wearing of the green. And if at last, our coloured shirt be thorned from loyal in my heart, Her sons would shame and sorrow for the dear old my wound heart. I hear the whisper of the land that lies me on the sea, Where rich and poor stand equal in the light of freedom's day. Oh, Admiral, I must believe you driven high a tyrant's hand, And seek another blessing from a strange and distant land, Where the cruel cross of England shall never more be seen, And in that land, we live and die still wearing freedom's green. CHORUS For the wearing of the green, for the wearing of the green They're hanging men and women for the wearing of the green. CHORUS For the wearing of the green, for the wearing of the green They're hanging men and women for the wearing of the green. CHORUS For the wearing of the green, for the wearing of the green They're hanging men and women for the wearing of the green. CHORUS For the wearing of the green, for the wearing of the green They're hanging men and women for the wearing of the green.
Robin Hood - For The Wearing Of The Green
CHORUS
For the wearing of the green, for the wearing of the green
They're hanging men and women for the wearing of the green.
Oh. Pretty dear and did you hear the news that's goin' round?
Our love is by law forbid to grow on sacred ground.
King Richard's Day no more keep his colours can't be seen
For they hangin' men and women for the wearing of the green.
I met with the dear old friar and he took me by the hand.
He said: "How's dear old Marianne and how does she stand?"
She's the most kind-hearted woman that you have ever seen
But they're hanging men and women for the wearing of the green.
CHORUS
For the wearing of the green, for the wearing of the green
They're hanging men and women for the wearing of the green.
And if the colour we must wear is England's cruel red,
Shure Robin's sons will ne'er forget the blood that they have shed.
You may take the gold from our hands and cast it down the sod,
I will take all root and flourish there, to' my king 'and his command.
My father loved his country and sweeped it within his breast,
But if I had one that died for her must ever soul be blessed.
Most tears me mother shad for me, how'd bitter they had been,
If I had proven traitor for the wearing of the green.
CHORUS
For the wearing of the green, for the wearing of the green
They're hanging men and women for the wearing of the green.
And if at last, our coloured shirt be thorned from loyal in my heart,
Her sons would shame and sorrow for the dear old my wound heart.
I hear the whisper of the land that lies me on the sea,
Where rich and poor stand equal in the light of freedom's day.
Oh, Admiral, I must believe you driven high a tyrant's hand,
And seek another blessing from a strange and distant land,
Where the cruel cross of England shall never more be seen,
And in that land, we live and die still wearing freedom's green.
CHORUS
For the wearing of the green, for the wearing of the green
They're hanging men and women for the wearing of the green.
CHORUS
For the wearing of the green, for the wearing of the green
They're hanging men and women for the wearing of the green.
CHORUS
For the wearing of the green, for the wearing of the green
They're hanging men and women for the wearing of the green.
CHORUS
For the wearing of the green, for the wearing of the green
They're hanging men and women for the wearing of the green.
