LONESOME ROBIN

by Bob Coltman



Rise up on your bed of straw

And see if you can't bend back your bow one last time

You're sick with your wounds and you think you don't care

But you know it'll prey on your mind

And wherever your arrow falls to the ground

We'll lay lonesome robin down, one last time



No more Robin, no more, your outlaw days are over



It's funny how hot is the sun

Now that you can't run away to the shade

And you can't help but think of the deer that you've run

And all the tricks that you've played

An wonderin' what Marian's bound to do

Better than comin' to see you, one last time



When you were a little boy

You had to go to bed while the sun still shone

It was just like sleep was the end of the world

And tomorrow would never come

And now lonesome Robin can't you just close your eyes

And pretend that the sun will still rise one more time



Now time has took your time away

Time and contraptions have slowed you down

All of the times you ever had

Took to their heels and they run

Hold on to what ever is closest to you

It's all lonesome Robin can do, one last time
