the ballad of hawkwood - robin grey lyrics

[verse 1]
there is a fine gent christened ru litherland
mulch, sow and then reap
the is a fine gent christened ru litherland
and he has green fingers on both of his hands
i’ll be good to the land and the land will be good to me

[verse 2]
with a co*op of comrades he dreamed a bold dream
to mulch, sow and then reap
with a co*op of comrades he dreamed a bold dream
to grow food for his kinsfolk as nature decreed
i’ll be good to the land and the land will be good to me

[verse 3]
by the edge of the forest they spied a fine patch
to mulch, sow and then reap
by the edge of the forest they spied a fine patch
and to grow fruit and veg there a plan did they hatch
i’ll be good to the land and the land will be good to me

[verse 4]
but the men of the hour dreamed of buildings not plants
mulch, sow and then reap
but the men of the hour dreamed of buildings not plants
a development would far more their profits enhance
i’ll be good to the land and the land will be good to me
[verse 5]
our ancestors fought for this fair forest land
mulch, sow and then reap
our ancestors fought for this fair forest land
so now against the law was the businessman’s plan
i’ll be good to the land and the land will be good to me

[verse 6]
after twelve months had passed did the council relent
mulch, sow and then reap
after twelve months had passed did the council relent
now we’ll work the earth as our ancestors meant
i’ll be good to the land and the land will be good to me

[verse 7]
now if you passed by here, you might hear a tune:
mulch, sow and then reap
now if you passed by here, you might hear a tune
the melody is old and the words will be soon
i’ll be good to the land and the land will be good to me
i’ll be good to the land and the land will be good to me
