"The Man With The Double Face" lyrics

"The Man With The Double Face"

So together they set off for the Holy Land
Robin Hood and Gisbourne, sword in hand
But soon it was clear from the horrors of that place
It was all about the money and not God's loving embrace

But on the road back home from Jerusalem
Robin fell into a trap
He was left for dead by Gisbourne's men
And he won't be coming back

Who would want to see him dead?
His friend Guy of Gisbourne
Why would he want to see him gone?
He wants to take his place
Why would he want to see him dead?
Guy of Gisbourne is his friend
He's no friend, he's the man with the double face
He's the man with the double face

And when Gisbourne returned to England's shores
To be Sheriff of Nottingham was his reward
And he tried everything to win Marian's hand
But she wanted no time with this odious man

For his dream was to be Earl of Huntingdon
With Marian there by his side
And though Robin was gone she would not agree
No matter how he tried

And as they stood there before the Memorial stone
Saying Robin of Loxley is dead
A stranger appeared in his raggedy clothes
And this is what he said

Who would want to see me dead?
Your friend Guy of Gisbourne
Why would he want to see me gone?
He wants to take your place
Why would he want to see me dead?
Guy of Gisbourne is my friend
He's no friend, he's the man with the double face
He's the man with the double face
He's the man with the double face
He's the man with the double face
He's the man with the double face
He's the man with the double face
