Verse 1 In Sherwood’s shade we gather near, With bow and song and cup of cheer, We take from gold so ill-begun, And share it ‘neath the rising sun. Chorus Are we heroes, are we thieves? Living free among the leaves. Justice rides on outlaw hands, Robin Hood and all his band. Verse 2 The sheriff calls us men of shame, But common folk still praise our name. For every coin we lift away, A hungry child will eat today. Chorus Are we heroes, are we thieves? Living free among the leaves. Justice rides on outlaw hands, Robin Hood and all his band. Bridge A crown may judge, a law condemn, Yet truth belongs to humble men. If wrong is done by lord or king, Then mercy is the song we sing. Final Chorus Are we heroes, are we thieves? Living free among the leaves. History will judge us, friend— Robin Hood until the end.
