Poor Boy — текст песни (Electric Light Orchestra)

Me Im just a poor boy, from across the far southland,

And Ive traveled many days to reach this place to mke my stand,

I fell in with a merry band, and drank away the hours.



Chorus

Rollin on, Ive 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 abbotts, and the gentry of the land.



Chorus

Rollin on, Ive been rollin on,

And my head is high, from the battle won,

Laid down my life for the greenwood



Sweet maid marion, dont you do me no wrong,

Stay on the right side, the greenwood is your home,,

The dancing girls and the open fires, the wine that flows like water.



Chorus

Rollin on, Ive been rollin on,

And my head is high, from the battle won,

Laid down my life for the greenwood
