ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA - Poor Boy lyrics

rate me

Me I'm just a poor boy, from across the far southland,<br>And I've traveled many days to reach this place to mke my stand,<br>I fell in with a merry band, and drank away the hours.<br><br>Chorus<br>Rollin' on, I've been rollin' on,<br>And my head is high, from the battle won,<br>Laid down my life for the greenwood<br><br>The city boys, and the country boys, they come from miles around,<br>To defy their king and country, save the poor folks from the hand,<br>Of the thieving dukes and abbotts, and the gentry of the land.<br><br>Chorus<br>Rollin' on, I've been rollin' on,<br>And my head is high, from the battle won,<br>Laid down my life for the greenwood<br><br>Sweet maid marion, don't you do me no wrong,<br>Stay on the right side, the greenwood is your home,,<br>The dancing girls and the open fires, the wine that flows like water.<br><br>Chorus<br>Rollin' on, I've been rollin' on,<br>And my head is high, from the battle won,<br>Laid down my life for the greenwood
