C ome you Gallants all, to you I do call, With a hey down down a down, that now is within this place, For a Song I will sing of Henry the King, how he did bold Robin Hood chase. Queen Katharine she then a match did make with a hey etc. as painly doth appear, For three hundred Tun of good red wine and three hundred Tun of Beer. But yet she had her Archers to seek, with a hey etc. with their Bows and Arrows so good, But her mind it was bent with a good intent to send for bold Robin Hood . But when bold Robin Hood he came there, with a hey &c. Queen Katherine she did say, Thou art welcome Loxsly , said the Queen, and all thy Yeoman gay.
For match of shooting I have made, with a hey &c. and thou on my part must be, Rob . If I miss the mark be it light or dark, then hanged will I be. But when the Game it came to be play'd with a hey etc. bold Robin then drew nigh; With his mantle of green, most brave to be seen, he let his Arrows fly. And when the Game it ended was, with a hey etc. bold Robin won it with grace; But after the King was angry with him, and vowed he would him chase. What though his pardon granted was, with a hey etc. while he with them did stay, But yet the King was vexed at him, when as he had gone his way The Second part to the same Tune .
S Oon after the King from the Court did hye with a hey etc. in a furious angry mood. And often inquire both far and near after bold Robin Hood . But when the King to Nottingham came, with a hey &c. O bold Robin was in the wood; Come, said he, and let me see who can find me bold Robin Hood . But when bold Rob. Hood he did hear with a hey etc. the King had him in Chase, Then said little John , 'tis time to be gone, and go to some other place. Then away they went from merry Sherwood with a hey etc. and into Yorkshire he did hye; And the King did follow with a hoop and a hollow, but could not come him nigh Yet jolly Robin he passed along, with a hey &c. and went straight to Newcastle Town, And there stayed he hours two or three, and then he for Barwick was gone. When the King he did see how Robin did flee with a hey etc. he was vexed wondrous sore; With a hoop and a hollow he vowed to fol-low and take him or never gave o're. Come now let's away, than said little John with a hey etc. let any men follow that dare, To Carlile we'l hye with our company, and so then to Lancaster . Front Lancaster then to Chester ther went with a hey etc. and so did good King Henry; But Robin away, for he durst not stay, for fear of some treachery.
Says Robin, come let us London go, with a hey etc. to see our noble Queens face, It may be she wants our company, which makes the King so us chase. When Robin he came Q Katherine be-fore, with a hey etc. he fell upon his knee, If it please your Grace, I am come to this place, for to speak with King Henry . Queen Katherine she answered bold Robin again, with a hey etc. the King is gone to merry Sherwood , And when he went to me did say, he would go to seek Robin Hood . Then fare you well my gracious Queen, with a hey etc. for to Sherwood I will hye apace, For fain would I see what he'd have with me, if I could but meet with his Grace. But when King Henry he came home, with a hey etc. full weary and vexed in mind; And that he did hear Robin had been there, he blamed Dame fortune unkind. You are welcome home, Queen Katherine cry'd, with a hey etc. Henry my Soveraign Leige: Bold Robin Hood that Archer good your person hath been to seek. But when King Henry he did hear with a hey etc. that Robin had been him to seek, This answer he gave, he is a cunning knave, for I have sought him this whole 3 week. A boon, a boon, Queen Katherine cry'd, with a hey etc. I beg it here of your Grace, To pardon his life, and seek no more strife, and so endeth Robin Hood 's Chase.
