SONG OF SHERWOOD
(In the Days of Old)
By Ken Ford
Deep in the heart
of the Sherwood I know
Livin and lovin
is all that she knows
Nestled in the valleys
of Oregon she grows
Railroads and sawmills
and farms she will sow.
Chorus: Oh Mighty you be
but small that you are
Sherwood you're my home
I no longer roam.
Pain and sorrow
and loss we have known
Loved ones gained
and loved ones lost
Churches were built
and fellowships were formed
Freedom to worship
and worship we did.
Sherwood wasn't built in a day
it took the likes of a Robin
and his merry ole men
Men of renown
and women of great strength
They carved out a town
and she's a hundred years old. |
