Twas the tale of an orphan on that Lake Erie shore
they said boy you'll be nothing, but he knew he'd be more
Saw the mob grow in power nearly year after year,
but the name Danny Greene, became a name they would fear
and he had
nine lives no wives, guys well never bring him down
green coat, green car that he drove around the town
so loved, he was just like you and I
but ya know they wish the Irishman would just lay down and die
and he said no
to so many a hero
and to so many a crook, scarce a look
might fill your heart with fear
but oh that robin hood of Collinwood
to many he was held so dear
When he spoke, how you listened with the fear of your life
cause ya knew he was savvy on the pain and the strife
they thought, how could this Irishman,a cross on his chest
take the mob and his cronies and lay them to rest
and he had
brass balls, stood tall, he knew they'd all had enough
car bombs, tapped calls, and he never cared how rough
Stuff got, and he'd fight them tooth and nail
and he knew he'd face an army and he knew he wouldn't fail
and he said no
to so many a hero
and to so many a crook, scarce a look
might fill your heart with fear
but oh that robin hood of Collinwood
to many he was held so dear
ay oh ay oh,
they told him go away oh ay oh
he said I think ill stay oh ay oh
and fight another day oh ay oh
and he said no
to so many a hero
and to so many a crook, scarce a look
might fill your heart with fear
but oh that robin hood of Collinwood
to many he was held so dear
