Robin Hood lay a-dying, He knew that his end had come. Around him were his merry men; Friar Tuck and Little John, Alan A Dale and Will Scarlet, Maid Marion so fair, They couldn`t leave him on his own, All his friends were there. And then they heard poor Robin`s voice Faint and frail and weak, They all leaned forward eagerly To hear what he would speak. `Prop me up upon my bed, `And give me my trusty bow, `The one that`s served me well for years, `And an arrow straight and true. ` Then open wide the window, `Now hear my last request. `Wheresoe`r this arrow falls, `There lay me down to rest.` With all his strength drew back his bow And let the arrow fly, Then collapsed upon his pillow And prepared himself to die. They watched in awe the arrow`s flight To see where it would drop, And so they buried him next day Upon the wardrobe`s top.
