BY the merry Landes date ah, There dwelt a jolly Miller, And a good old man was he, Was he, was he hay hoe. He had, he had an a son ah, Men cald him jollie Raynold, A mighte man of might Was he, was he hay hoe. And from his father he would ah, His fortune for to seeke, From merry Landes date Would he, would he hay hoe. His father he would him seek ah, And found him fast asleep, Undneath the hathorne tree Was he, was he hay hoe. He took, he took him up ah, All by the lilly white, And set him on his feet, And by him stand hay hoe. He gave to him & a bent bow, Made of a trustee tree, And arrowes in his hand, And bid him let them flee. And shoot with yt he did ah, Some say he shot a mile, But half a mile nay more Was yt he shot hay ho. And at the half miles end ah, There stood an armed man, This child he shot him through, And through, & through hay ho. His beard was all on a white ah, As white as driven snow, His teeth they were as cleer As chistall snow hay ho. And there of him they made ah, Good yeoman Robin Hood, Scarlet and Little John, And Little John hay ho.
