COme listen a while you Gentlemen all, with a hey down, down a down down, That are in this Bowe within, for a story of gallant bold Robin Hood, [I] purpose now to begin. [W]hat time of the day, quod Robin Hood then, with a hey, etc. [Q]uoth little John 'tis in the prime, why then we will to the green wood gang, [F]or we hav no Victuals to dine. [As] Robin Hood walkt the Forrest, with a hey, etc. [I]t was [i]n the midst of the day, there was he met with a deft young-man, [A]s ever walkt on the way. His Doublet was of Silk, he said, wit[h] a hey, etc. His stockings like Scarlet shone, an[d he] walkt on along the way, To [Robin H]ood then unknown. A h[erd of deer w]as in the Bend, [with a hey, etc. All feeding beofre h]is face, [now the be]st of ye i'le have to my dinner, [And that in] a little space. [Now the st]ranger he made no mickle ado, [with a hey, e]tc. [But he bends a] right good Bow, [and the best B]uck[?]ack in the Heard he slew, [Forty good Yard]s him fro.
Well shot, well shot quod Robin Hood then, with a hey, etc. That shot it was shot in time, and if thou wilt accept of the place, Thou shalt be a bold Yeoman of mine. Go play the Chiven, the stranger said, with a hey, etc. Make haste and quickly go, or with my Fist be sure of this, I'le give thee Buffets store. Thou had'st not best buffet me, said Ro. Hood with a hey, etc. For though I seem forlorn, yet I can have those that will take my part If I blow but my Horn. Thou wast not best wind thy Horn, the stran-ger said, with a hey, etc. Beest thou never so much in haste, for I can draw out a good broad Sword, And quickly cut the blast. Then Robin Hood bent a very good Bow, with a hey, etc. To that shot, and he would fain, the stranger he bent up a noble Bow, To shoot at bold Robin again. O hold thy hand, hold thy hand, quod Ro. Hood with a hey, etc. To shoot it would be in vain. for if we should shoot the one at the other, The one of us must be slain.
BUt let's take our swords and our broad bucklers with a hey down, etc. And gang under yonder tree, as I hope to be sav'd, the stranger said, One foot I will not flee. Then Robin Hood lent the stranger a blow, with a hey, etc. Most scared him out of his wit, thou never felt blow the stranger said, That shall be better quit. The stranger he drew out a good broad sword with a hey, etc. And hit Robin on the Crown, that from every hair of bold Robins head, The blood ran trickling down. God-a-mercy good fellow, quod Robin Hood then with a hey, etc. And for this that thou hast done, tell me good fellow, what thou art, Tell me where thou dost woon. The Stranger then answered bold Ro. Hood with a hey, etc. I'le tell thee where I did dwell, in Maxfield was I born and bred, My Name is young Gamwel. For killing of my Fathers Steward, with a hey, etc. I am forc'd to this English Wood, and for to seek an Uncle of mine, Some call him Robin Hood. But art thou a Couzen of Robin Hoods then with a hey, etc. The sooner we should have done, as I hope to be sav'd the stranger then said I am his own Sisters Son. But Lord what kissing & courting was there with a hey, etc. When these two Couzens did meet, and they went all that Summers day, And little John did meet. But when they met with little John, with a hey, etc. He thereunto did say. O Master, where have you been, You have tarryed so long away? I met with a stranger, quod Robin Hood then, with a hey, etc. Full sore he hath beaten me, then i'le have about with him, quod little John And try if he can beat me.
Oh no, O no, quoth Robin Hood, with a hey, etc. Little John it may not be so, for he is my own dear Sisters Son, And Couzens I have no mo. But he shall be a bold Yeoman of mine, with a hey, etc. My chief Man next to thee, and I Robin Hood, and thou little John, And Scarlet he shall be. And we'l be three of the bravest Outlaws, with a hey, etc. That is in the North Country, if you'l have any more of bold Robin Hood, In this second part it will be. Then bold Ro. Hood to the North he would go with a hey, etc. With Valour and mickle might, with sword by his side, which oft had bin try'd To fight and recover h[i]s right. The first that he met with was a bold Scot, with a hey, etc. 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, with a hey, etc. Nay, marry, the Scot he said, as true as your heart, i'le never part, Gude Master be not afraid. Then Robin Hood turn'd his face to the East with a hey, etc. Fight on my merry men stout, our case is good, quoth brave Robin Hood, And we shall not be beaten out. The battel grows hot on every side, with a hey, etc. The Scotch-man made great moan, quoth Jockey, gude faith, they fight on each side Would I were with my Wife Joan. The Enemy compast brave Robin about, with a hey, etc. 'Tis long e're the battel ends, there's neither will yield, nor give up the field For both are supply'd with friends. This Song it was made in Robin Hoods days with a hey down, etc. Let's pray unto Jove above, to give us true peace, that mischief may cease And War may give place unto Love.
