Poor Boy Lyrics - Electric Light Orchestra

Me, I'm just a poor boy 

From across the far south lands 

And I've traveled many days 

To reach this place to make my stand 

Oh, and I fell in with a merry band 

And drank away the hours 

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 abbots 

And the gentry of the land 

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 

All the dancing girls and the open fires 

And the wine that flows like water 

Rollin' on, I've been rollin' on 

And my head is high from the battle won 

Laid down my life for the Greenwood 

Ohh 

Ohh 

Ohh 

...
