Lonesome Robin |
Rise up from your bed of straw |
See if you can bend that short bow one last time |
Speak from your wounds and say you don’t care |
You know it’ll prey on your mind |
Wherever your arrow it falls to the ground |
Lay lonesome Robin down one last time |
No more, Robin, no more |
Your outlaw days are over |
When you were a little boy |
You had to go to bed early while the sun still shone |
Just like sleep was the end of the world |
And tomorrow would never never come |
So now lonesome Robin won’t you close your eyes |
So that the sun it will rise one last time |
No more, Robin, no more |
Your outlaw days are over |
It’s funny how hot is the sun |
Now that you can’t run away from the city |
Just lie there and think of the deer you have run |
And of all the games that you’ve played |
And wondering what Marian’s bound to do that’s better |
Than coming to see you one last time |
No more, Robin, no more |
Your outlaw days are over |
And time’s taken your time away |
Time and deceptions have whittled you down |
All of the times that ever you had |
Have took to their heels and run |
Hold on to whatever is closest to you |
That’s all lonesome Robin can do one last time |
No more, Robin, no more |
Your outlaw days are over |
This is a song from my youth, now long ago, which was on an album by Bob Coltman my cousin Sandra had and which came to be a big fave
