about

Do you like bagpipes? (I do).
Do you like tartan? (I do).
Are you feeling rebellious, or mutinous in this current climate?
This traditional-style, brand new Scottish marching song mangles all of these together, including the names of Robin Hood and Robert the Bruce. Who knows, if and when I actually get to perform this onstage, I might do a Scottish dance and cheer you all up!

lyrics

ROBERT THE HOOD

V1: I looked out on the world today/ It seemed that sense had gone from there
Between the secrets and the lies/ What can we take away from here
Listen to the sound of drums/ From our windows on the world
Eat the rich, give to the poor/ For there are many of us

(Ch 1 - Instrumental, Bagpipes + Shouting)

V2: The nation's heart it beats as one/ But who will come to rescue us
Our leaders jumped the gun/ They thought we were all numbnuts
They can't keep us in chains/ Now is time to demonstrate
The size of lies, the fraud they've made,/ That we know what they're doing

(Ch 2 - See Ch 1)

V3: I looked out on the world today/ And sensed a spark of mutiny
The Sherwood spirit is alive/ And well in more than one of three
Now eat the rich, give to the poor/ For us they cannot crush, oh no
So very few of them/ And oh so many of us

(Ch 3 + Ending)

(C) Christina Crimari/ Brodie April 2020
