The Man With the Double Face lyrics

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!
