COme light and listen you Gentlemen all, with a hey down, down and a down, That mirth do I love for to hear, and a Story true i'le tell unto you, If that you will but draw near. In elder times when merriment was, with a hey, etc. And Archery was holden good, there was an Out-law, as many did know, Which Men called Robin Hood. Upon a time it chanced so, with a hey, etc. Bold Robin was merrily dispos'd, his time to spend, he did intend, Either with friend or Foe. Then he got up on a gallant Steed, with a hey, etc. The which was worth Angels ten, with Mantle of green, most brave to be seen, He left all his merry men. And riding towards brave Nottingham, with a hey, etc. Some pastime for to spy, there was he aware of a jolly Beggar, As e're he beheld with his eye.
An old patch'd Coat the Beggar had on, with a hey, etc. Which he daily did use to wear; and many a bag, about him did wag, Which made Robin Hood to him repair. God speed, God speed, said Robin Hood then, with a hey, etc. What Countrey Man? tell unto me, I am York-shire Sir, but e're you go far, Some Charity give unto me. Why what would thou have? said R. Hood, with a hey, etc. I pray the tell unto me; no Lands nor Livings, the beggar he said But a penny for Charity. I have no money, said Robin Hood then with a hey, etc. But a ranger in the wood, I am an Out-law, as many do know, My name it is Robin Hood. But yet I must tell thee bonny Beggar, with a hey, etc. That a bout with thee I must try, thy Coat of Gray, lay down I say; And my Mantle of Green shall lye by.

COntent, content, the Beggar he said, with a hey, etc. Thy part it will be the worse, for I hope this bout to give thee the rout, And then have at thy Purse. The Beggar he had a muckle long staff, with a hey, etc. And Robin had a nut-brown Sword, so the Beggar drew nigh, & at Rob. let flye But he gave him never a word. Fight on, fight on, said Robin Hood then with a hey, etc. This Game well pleaseth me, for every blow that Robin did give, The Beggar gave buffets three. And fighting there full hardy and sore, with a hey, etc. Not far from Nottingham Town, they never fled, till from Robins head, The blood came trickling down. O hold thy hand, said Robin Hood then, with a hey, etc. And thou and I will agree, If it be true the Beggar he said, Thy Mantle come give unto me. Nay a change, a change, cry'd Robin Hood with a hey, etc. Thy Baggs and coat give me, and this Mantle of mine, i'le to thee resign, My Horse and my bravery. When Robin had got the Beggars cloaths, with a hey, etc. He looked round about, methink said he, I seem to be, A Begger brave and stout. For now I have a bag for my bread, with a hey, etc. So have I another for Corn, I have one for Mault, and another for salt, And one for my little Horn. And now I will a begging go, with a hey, etc. Some Charity for to find. and if any more of Robin you'l know, In the Second Part it's behind. NOw Robin he is to Nottingham gone, with a hey, etc. With his bags hanging down to his knee, his staff and his coat, scarce worth a groat, Yet merrily passed he. As Robin he passed the streets along, with a hey, etc. He heard a pittiful cry,
three Brethren dear, as he did hear, Condemned were to dye. Then Robin he hyed to the Sherffs, with a hey, etc. Some relief for to seek, he skipt and he leapt, and capor'd full high As he went along the street. But when to the Sheriff's door he came, with a hey, etc. He met a Gentleman fine and brave, thou beggar said he, come tell unto me, What is't that thou would'st have? No meat nor drink, said Robin Hood then, with a hey, etc. That I come here to crave, but to beg the lives of Yeomen three, And that I fain would have. That cannot be, thou bold Beggar, with a hey, etc. Their Fact it is so clear, I tell to thee, hang'd they must be, For stealing of the Kings Deer. But when to the Gallows they did come, with a hey, etc. There was many a weeping eye, hold your peace said Robin Hood then For certainly they shall not dye. Then Robin he set his horn to his Mouth, with a hey, etc. And blew but blasts three, till an hundred bold Archers brave, Came kneeling down on their knee. What is your Will, Master, they said, with a hey, etc. We are at your command, shoot East, shoot West, said Robin then, And look that you spare no man. Then they shot East, and they shot West, with a hey, etc. Their Arrows were so keen, the Sheriff he, and his company, No longer must he seen. Then he stept to these Brethren three, with a hey, etc. And away he has them tane, but the sheriff was crost, & many men lost That dead lay on the Plain. Away they went into the merry green wood with a hey, etc. And sung with a merry glee, then Robin Hood took these Brethren good To be of his Yeomandry.
