President Romana - The Ballad Of Robin Hood And The Lady Clara Lyrics

When robin was a-walking through
the sherwood forests green
He did come across a maiden unlike any he had seen
She'd a smile to melt the prince's heart
(if he had one at all!)
And a wit to match the stranger's
she was travelling withal

When robin was a-marching by the quickly-flowing brook
He was confronted by this stranger
neither man played by the book
For they duelled upon the bridge
nay, not to win the lady's heart
But to show which one of them was brave
noble, diligent and smart

Listen ye, o listen ye! For all of ye should
Hear the tale of sweet clara and our own robin hood!

When robin fell into the stream, the lady she did wail
And she criticised her friend for his unchivalrous assail
But our robin is a fox indeed, and by his clever scheme
The sour scotsman lost his balance
and fell forward in the stream

These enemies would meet again
in nottingham's fair grounds
Where they drew the bow
put on a show to huge, expectant crowds
And the arrow split, aye, many times
till the scotsman took his aim
And the target disappeared in fire
putting robin hood to shame

Listen ye, o listen ye! For all of ye should
Hear the tale of sweet clara and our own robin hood!

Then robin and the travellers were quickly locked away
In a tower cell wherein the sheriff
hoped the three would stay
With the patience of queen eleanor
when she faced a similar trial
Clara did rule with grace
while the men disgracefully shouted all the while

The three were reunited
when the plan did come to light
Whereby the gold taken from all around
would put a ship in flight
The golden arrow pierced the belly of the metal beast
And so all of merry england
can thank robin for its peace

Listen ye, o listen ye! For all of ye should
Hear the tale of sweet clara and our own robin hood!
