Songs The Minstrel Sang - Gordon Lightfoot

    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
