COME listen awhile you Gentlemen all, With a hey down, down and a down. That are this Bower within; For a story of gallant Robin Hood, I mean now to begin. What time of Day? quoth Robin Hood, quoth Little John, tis in the prime; Why then we will to the Green wood go, for we have no Victuals to dine. As Robin walkd the forest along, it was in the midst of the day; There was he aware of a deft young man, as ever walkd on the way. His Doublet was of silk he said, his stockings like scarlet shone, And bravely he walkd along the way, to Robin Hood then unknown.
A herd of Deer was then in the bend, all feeding before his face; Now the best of you Ill have to my Dinner, and that in a little space. Now the Stranger he made no mickle ado, but he bent a right good Bow, And the best of all the Herd he slew, full forty Yards him fro. Well shot, well shot, said Robin Hood then, that Shot it was in Time; And if thou wilt accept of the Place, thou shalt be a bold Yeoman of mine. Go play the Chiven, the Stranger then said, make haste and quickly go, Or with my fist, be sure of this, Ill give thee Buffets store.
Thou hadst not best buffet me, quoth Robin Hood, for altho I am forlorn, Yet i have those will take my part, if I do blow my Horn. Thou hadst not best wind thy horn the Stranger said, best thou never so much in haste; for i can draw a good broad Sword, and quickly cut the Blast. Then Robin Hood bent a very good Bow, to shoot and that he would fain, The Stranger he bent a very good Bow, to shoot at bold Robin again. O hold thy hand, hold thy hand, quoth Robin Hood to Shoot it would be in vain; For if we shoot the One at the other, the One of us be slain. But lets take our Swords and our broad Bucklers, and gang under yonder Tree. As i hope to be savd the Stranger he said, One foot i will not flee. Then Robin Hood lent the Stranger a blow, most feard him out of his Wits; Thou never felt Blow the Stranger he said, that shall be better quit. The Stranger he then with a good broad sword, hit Robin Hood on the Crown, That from every hair of bold Robins Head, the Blood it run trickling down. God-a-mercy good Fellow, quoth Robin Hood then, and for this thou hast done; Tell me good Fellow, what thou art, tell me where thou dost won. The Stranger then answerd bold Robin Hood, Ill tell thee where I do dwell: In Maxfield Town I was born and bred, my Name is young Gamwell. For killing of my Fathers Steward, am forcd to this English Wood, And for to seek an Uncle of mine, some call him Robin Hood. But art thou a Cousin of Robin Hood then? the sooner we should have done. As I hope to be savd, the Stranger then said, I am his own Sisters Son. But Laud, what kissing and courting was there, when these two Cousins did meet! And they went all that Summers Day, and Little John did not meet.
But when they met with Little John, he then unto him did say; O Master, pray, where have you been, you have tarryd so long away; I met with a Stranger, quoth Robin Hood then, full sore he hath beaten me; Then Ill have a bout with him, quoth Little John, and try if he can beat me. O no, O no, quoth Robin Hood then, Little John it may not be so; For he is my own dear Sisters Son, and Cousins I have no mo. But he shall be a bold Yeoman of mine, my chief Man next to thee; And I Robin Hood, and thou Little John, and Scarlet he shall be; And well be three of the bravest Outlaws, that live in the North Country. If thou wilt hear more of bold Robin Hood, in the second part it will be. Then bold Robin Hood to the North he would go, with Valour and mickle might, With sword by his side which oft had been tryd, to fight and recover his right. The first that he met was a bonny bold scot, his servant he said he would be, No, quoth Robin Hood, it cannot be good, for thou wilt prove false unto me, Thou hast not been true to Sire nor Cuz, nay, marry the scot he said, As true as your heart, Ill never part, geud master, be not afraid. Then Robin Hood turnd his face to the east, fight on my merry men stout; Our case is good, quoth brave Robin Hood, and we shall not be beaten out. The battle grows hot on every side, the Scotchmen made great moan, Quoth Jockey, geud faith, they fight on each side, would I were with my Wife Joan. The Enemy compassd brave Robin about, tis long eer the battle ends; Theirs neither will yield, nor give up the field, for both are supplied with friends; This song it was made in Robin Hoods Days: lets pray unto Jove above. To give us true Peace, that mischief may cease, and War may give place unto Love.
