Come all you brave gallants and listen awhile	A
With hey down down an a down	B
That are in the bowers within	C
For of Robin Hood that archer good	D
A song I intend for to sing	E
	-
Upon a time it chanced so	F
Bold Robin in forrest did 'spy	G
A jolly butcher with a bonny fine mare	H
With his flesh to the market did hye	I
	-
Good morrow good fellow said jolly Robin	J
What food hast thou tell unto me	K
Thy trade to me tell and where thou dost dwell	L
For I like well thy company	K
	-
The butcher he answer'd jolly Robin	J
No matter where I dwell	L
For a butcher I am and to Nottingham	M
I am going my flesh to sell	L
	-
What's the price of thy flesh said jolly Robin	J
Come tell it soon unto me	K
And the price of thy mare be she never so dear	N
For a butcher fain would I be	K
	-
The price of my flesh the butcher repli'd	O
I soon will tell unto thee	K
With my bonny mare and they are not too dear	N
Four mark thou must give unto me	K
	-
Four mark I will give thee saith jolly Robin	J
Four mark it shall be thy fee	K
The mony come count and let me mount	P
For a butcher I fain would be	K
	-
Now Robin he is to Nottingham gone	Q
His butchers trade to begin	C
With good intent to the sheriff he went	R
And there he took up his inn	C
	-
When other butchers did open their meat	S
Bold Robin he then begun	J
But how for to sell he knew not well	L
For a butcher he was but young	T
	-
When other butchers no meat could sell	L
Robin got both gold and fee	K
For he sold more meat for one peny	J
Then others could do for three	K
	-
But when he sold his meat so fast	U
No butcher by him could thrive	V
For he sold more meat for one peny	J
Than others could do for five	V
	-
Which made the butchers of Nottingham	M
To study as they did stand	W
Saying Surely he 'is' some prodigal	X
That hath sold his fathers land	W
	-
The butchers stepped to jolly Robin	J
Acquainted with him for to be	K
Come brother one said we be all of one trade	Y
Come will you go dine with me	K
	-
Accurst of his heart said jolly Robin	J
That a butcher doth deny	J
I will go with you my brethren true	Z
As fast as I can hie	A2
	-
But when to the sheriffs house they came	B2
To dinner they hied apace	C2
And Robin Hood he the man must be	K
Before them all to say grace	C2
	-
Pray God bless us all said jolly Robin	J
And our meat within this place	C2
A cup of sack so good will nourish our blood	D2
And so do I end my grace	C2
	-
Come fill us more wine said jolly Robin	J
Let us be merry while we do stay	E2
For wine and good cheer be it never so dear	N
I vow I the reck'ning will pay	E2
	-
Come 'brothers ' be merry said jolly Robin	J
Let us drink and never give ore	F2
For the shot I will pay ere I go my way	E2
If it cost me five pounds and more	F2
	-
This is a mad blade the butchers then said	G2
Saies the sheriff He is some prodigal	X
That some land has sold for silver and gold	H2
And now he doth mean to spend all	I2
	-
Hast thou any horn beasts the sheriff repli'd	O
Good fellow to sell unto me	K
Yes that I have good master sheriff	J2
I have hundreds two or three	K
	-
And a hundred aker of good free land	W
If you please it to see	K
And Ile make you as good assurance of it	K2
As ever my father made me	K
	-
The sheriff he saddled his good palfrey	K
And with three hundred pound in gold	H2
Away he went with bold Robin Hood	D
His horned beasts to behold	H2
	-
Away then the sheriff and Robin did ride	O
To the forrest of merry Sherwood	D
Then the sheriff did say God bless us this day	E2
From a man they call Robin Hood	D
	-
But when a little farther they came	B2
Bold Robin he chanced to spy	J
A hundred head of good red deer	N
Come tripping the sheriff full nigh	J
	-
How like you my horn'd beasts good master sheriff	J2
They be fat and fair for to see	K
I tell thee good fellow I would I were gone	J
For I like not thy company	K
	-
Then Robin set his horn to his mouth	L2
And blew but blasts three	K
Then quickly anon there came Little John	J
And all his company	K
	-
What is your will master then said Little John	J
Good master come tell unto me	K
I have brought hither the sheriff of Nottingham	M
This day to dine with thee	K
	-
He is welcome to me then said Little John	J
I hope he will honestly pay	E2
I know he has gold if it be but well told	H2
Will serve us to drink a whole day	E2
	-
Then Robin took his mantle from his back	M2
And laid it upon the ground	N2
And out of the sheriffs portmantle	I2
He told three hundred pound	N2
	-
Then Robin he brought him thorow the wood	D
And set him on his dapple gray	E2
O have me commanded to your wife at home	O2
So Robin went laughing away	E2
