Me I'm just a poor boy, from across the far southland,
And I've traveled many days to reach this place to mke my
stand,

I fell in with a merry band, and drank away the hours.

CHORUS

Rollin' on, I've been rollin' on,
And my head is high, from the battle won,
Laid down my life for the Greenwood


The city boys, and the country boys, they come from miles
around,

To defy their king and country, save the poor folks from the
hand,
Of the thieving dukes and abbotts, and the gentry of the

land.

CHORUS

Rollin' on, I've been rollin' on,
And my head is high, from the battle won,
Laid down my life for the Greenwood


Sweet Maid marion, don't you do me no wrong,
Stay on the right side, the Greenwood is your home,,

The dancing girls and the open fires, the wine that flows like
water.


CHORUS
Rollin' on, I've been rollin' on,
And my head is high, from the battle won,

Laid down my life for the Greenwood
