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!!
