The Oil Patch Warrior Lyrics

Oil in Sherwood Forest
Robin Hood would approve
Of the Yanks who came to help us
A tale of World War Two

The oil patch warrior
In a forest glade
A reminder of those men
From the USA

Striking oil in the forest
It really is quite true
Tons of high grade oil obtained
A tale of World War Two

The oil patch warrior
In a forest glade
A reminder of those men
From the USA

With stetson hats and banjos
They drilled so many wells
Of those oil drilling roughnecks
There are so many tales

Without oil no plane could fly
And no tank could move
Precious oil beneath the English soil
A tale of World War Two

The oil patch warrior
In a forest glade
A reminder of those men
From the USA

The oil patch warrior
In a forest glade
A reminder of those men
From the USA
