Generate meaning
1
Well here comes a gallant Robin Hood
2
He's back from swingin' through the trees
3
He's got silver wrapped around his fingers
4
And gold driven deep into his teeth
5
Hey, what did you steal this morning?
6
What did you get for free?
7
You know I've got a wife and children
8
And I could use some of that generosity
9
See I ain't accustomed in standin' in bread lines or getting' my soup for free
10
But the want ads cost me a dollar to buy and the news it wasn't good enough to eat
11
And I know you're a man of honor, a real stand up guy
12
When you're not breakin' into people's homes while they sleep
13
You know how to impale and how to hold your ale
14
And your heart goes out to folks like me
15
You want the princes purged from their palaces
16
You want to spread the wealth around
17
While the criminals line up for portraits
18
Wearing royal hand me downs
19
Well me, I'm just a man, just a regular joe. I don't claim to make a fantastic living
20
I work with my hands, not with arrows and bows
21
And I'm not tryin' to prove anything
22
So, what did you steal this evening?
23
What did you get for free?
24
You know I've got a wife and children
25
And your good deeds are legendary
26
I only came to you cause I lost my means
27
And I heard you had more than your fill
28
You know I'd plant me a garden, but the kids are starving
29
And I haven't got the time to kill.
