IN Summer time when leaves grew greene, and birds sitting on every tree: King Edward would a hunting ride, some pastime for to see. Our King he would a hunting ride, by eight a clocke of the day, And well was he ware of a bold Tanner, come riding on the way. A good russet coat the Tanner had on, fast buttoned under his chin: And under him a good Cow-hide, and a Mare of foure shilling. Now stand you here good my Lords all, under this trusty tree: And I will wend to yonder fellow, to know from whence came hee. God speed, God speed, then said our King, thou art welcome good fellow (quoth hee) Which is the way to Drayton Basset? I pray you shew it to me. The way to Drayton Basset, from this way as thou dost stand, The next paire of Gallowes thou commest to, thou must turne upon the left hand. That is not the way then said our King, the readiest way I pray thee shew mee. Whether thou be thiefe or true man quoth the Tanner, I am weary of thy company. Away with a vengeance quoth the Tanner, I hold thee out of thy wit: For this day have I ridden and gone, and I am fasting yet. Goe with me to Drayton Basset, said our King, no Dainties we will lacke: For weel have meat and drinke of the best, and I will pay for the shot.
Godamercie for nothing quoth the Tanner, thou shalt pay for no dinner of mine: I have more groats and nobles in my purse, than thou hast pence in thine. God save your goods then said our King, and send them well to thee. Be thou thiefe or true man said the Tanner, I am weary of thy company. Away with a vengeance quoth the Tanner, of thee I stand in feare: The apparell thou wearest on thy backe, may seeme a good Lord to weare. I never stole them said our King, I sweare to you by the rood: Thou art some Ruffian of the Country, thou ridest in the midst of thy good. What newes doe you heare then said our King, I pray what newes dyou heare? I heare no newes answered the Tanner, but that Cow-hides be deare. Cow-hides, Cow-hides then said our King, I marvell what they be. Why art thou a foole quoth the Tanner? looke I have one under mee. Yet one thing of thee I would thee pray, so that thou would not be strange: If thy Mare be better than my Steed, I pray you let us change. But if thou needs with me wilt change, as change full well may yee: By the faith of my body quoth the Tanner, I looke to have boot of thee. What boot wilt thou aske then said the King, what boot wilt thou aske on this ground? No pence nor halfepence said the Tanner, but a Noble in gold so round.

HEres twenty good groats then said the King, so well paid see that you be: I love thee better than I did before, I thought thou hadst nere a penny. But if so be we must needs change, as change we must abide: Though thou hast gotten Brocke my Mare, thou shalt not have my Cow-hide. The Tanner he tooke the good Cow-hide that of the Cow was hilt, And threw it upon the Kings Saddle, that was so fairely gilt. Now helpe me, helpe me up quoth the Tanner, full quickly that I were gone: For when I come home to Jillian my wife, sheel say I am a Gentleman. The King tooke the Tanner by the leg, he girded a fart so round: You are very homely then said the King, were I aware Ide a laid you oth ground. But when the Tanner was in the Kings Saddle, astonied then hee was: Hee knew not the stirrops that hee did weare, whether they were gold or brasse. But when the Steed saw the black Cow-taile wag, for and the blacke Cow-horne: The Steed began to run away, as the Devill the Tanner had borne. Untill hee came unto a nooke, a little beside an Ash: The Steed gave the Tanner such a fall, his necke was almost brast. Take thy horse againe with a vengeance, hee said, with mee hee shall not abide: It is no marvell said the King, and laught, he knew not your Cow-hide.
But if that wee must needs now change here, as change well that we mote: Ile sweare to you plaine, if you have your Ma[re] I doe looke to have some boot. What boot wilt thou aske, quoth the Tanner, what boot wilt thou aske on this ground? No pence nor halfepence, said the King, but in gold twenty pound. Heres twenty groats said the Tanner, and twenty more I had of thine: I have ten groats more in my purse, weel drinke five of them at the Wine. The King set a Bugle horne to his mouth, that blew both loud and shrill, Then five hundred Lords and Knights, came riding over a hill. Away with a vengeance quoth the Tanner, with thee Ile no longer abide: Thou art a strong thiefe, yonder be thy fellow they will steale away my Cow-hide. No I protest then said our King, for so it may not be: Thay be Lords of Drayton Basset, come out of the North country. But when they came before the King, full loe they fell on their knee: The Tanner had rather than a hundred pound hee had been out of their company. A Coller, a Coller, then said the King, a Coller that he did cry: Then would he ha givn a thousand pound, hee had not been so nie. A Coller, a Coller, quoth the Tanner, that is a thing will breed sorrow, For after a Coller commeth a halter, and I shall be hanged to morrow. No doe not feare, the King did say, for pastime thou hast showne me: No Coller nor halter thou shalt have, but I will give thee a fee. For Plumton Parke I will thee give, with the Tenements three beside; Which is worth five hundred pound a yeare, to maintaine thy good Cow-hide. Godamercie, Godamercie, quoth the Tanner, for this good deed thou hast done: If ever thou commest to merry Tamworth, thou shalt have clouting leather for thy shone
