Songs The Minstrel Sang Lyrics

It's almost over it's almost done

 And you can't put the blame on anyone

 It's almost easy and it's almost fun

 Did you get caught with your britches on

 

 Hi derry day in the month of May

 Was the song the minstrel sang

 To the good of Robin Hood

 Maid Marion and all the gang

 

 His aim was mean and his shot was clean

 And his suit was the shade of evergreen

 The folks he knew hadn't naught to fear

 When the sheriff was there they were over here

 

 Hi derry doon in the month of June

 Was the song the minstrel sung

 To the good of Robin Hood's

 Good name and a place to run

 

 He loved strong ale and a run down jail

 Was the kind of a scene where he never failed

 There was no man on the sea or land

 Who could get Maid Marion on the trail

 

 Hi derry day in the month of May

 Was the song the minstrel sang

 To the good of Robin Hood

 Maid Marion and all the gang

 

 It's almost over it's almost done

 And you can't put the blame on Marion

 She almost made it to the friar's gate

 But the old wooden bridge wouldn't elevate

 

 Hi derry doon in the month of June

 Was the song the minstrel sung

 To the good of Robin Hood's

 Good name and a place to run
