Songs The Minstrel Sang
Gordon Lightfoot
|_ _ |__ |__ |__ | 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 sa-ang_ 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 sheen_ of the evergreen_ The folks_ he knew_ had 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 su-ung_ 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 sa-ang_ 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 Marion_ It's 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 su-ung_ To the good of_ Robin_ Hood's_ Good name_ and a place_ to run_
