I echo "carflo" of San Antonio Texas' comments below and now have this strange compulsion to add the second verse:
(Merrily)"He called his merry archers to a tavern on the green, They vowed to help the people of the King, They handled all the troubles on the English country scene And still found plenty of time to sing" (Chorus) Robin Hood, Robin Hood riding through the glen, etc etc.
What I did not know at the time was that the much hyped Richard Coer de Leon" (Richard I)only spent about 8 days throughout his life in his kingdom and did not like living here.He spoke 12th century French by preference and was only interested in how many taxes he could levy on us Anglo Saxons to finance his crusades.Some revisionist historians claim that John was put upon by his brother almost in the same way Edward VIII did on George VI in 1936 and that he was not half the villain he was painted as we know he was under considerable pressure from the powerful barons to give up a lot of his powers.(Don't get me onto the subject of the House of Tudor's hatchet job on Richard III).
But who is interested in history at 9 or 10?This is a sacred childhood memory I prefer to leave unsullied.Now from the top sing....
score /10
