Come listen to me you gallants so free	A
All you that love mirth for to hear	B
And I will tell you of a bold outlaw	C
That lived in Nottinghamshire	B
	-
As Robin Hood in the forest stood	D
All under the greenwood tree	B
There he was aware of a brave young man	E
As fine as fine might be	B
	-
The youngster was clad in scarlet red	F
In scarlet fine and gay	G
And he did frisk it over the plain	H
And chaunted a roundelay	C
	-
As Robin Hood next morning stood	D
Amongst the leaves so gay	G
There did he espy the same young man	E
Come drooping along the way	G
	-
The scarlet he wore the day before	B
It was clean cast away	G
And at every step he fetched a sigh	I
Alas and a well a day	G
	-
Then stepped forth brave Little John	J
And Midge the miller's son	K
Which made the young man bend his bow	L
When as he see them come	M
	-
Stand off stand off the young man said	F
What is your will with me	B
You must come before our master straight	N
Under yon greenwood tree	B
	-
And when he came bold Robin before	B
Robin asked him courteously	C
O hast thou any money to spare	B
For my merry men and me	B
	-
I have no money the young man said	F
But five shillings and a ring	O
And that I have kept this seven long years	P
To have at my wedding	O
	-
Yesterday I should have married a maid	Q
But she was from me ta'en	R
And chosen to be an old knight's delight	S
Whereby my poor heart is slain	H
	-
What is thy name then said Robin Hood	D
Come tell me without any fail	C
By the faith of my body then said the young man	E
My name it is Allen a Dale	C
	-
What wilt thou give me said Robin Hood	D
In ready gold or fee	B
To help thee to thy true love again	R
And deliver her unto thee	B
	-
I have no money then quoth the young man	E
No ready gold nor fee	B
But I will swear upon a book	T
Thy true servant for to be	B
	-
How many miles is it to thy true love	U
Come tell me without guile	C
By the faith of my body then said the young man	E
It is but five little mile	C
	-
Then Robin he hasted over the plain	H
He did neither stint nor lin	V
Until he came unto the church	W
Where Allen should keep his weddin'	V
	-
What hast thou here the bishop then said	F
I prithee now tell unto me	B
I am a bold harper quoth Robin Hood	D
And the best in the north country	B
	-
O welcome O welcome the bishop he said	F
That music best pleaseth me	B
You shall have no music quoth Robin Hood	D
Till the bride and bridegroom I see	B
	-
With that came in a wealthy knight	S
Which was both grave and old	X
And after him a finikin lass	Y
Did shine like the glistering gold	X
	-
This is not a fit match quoth Robin Hood	D
That you do seem to make here	B
For since we are come into the church	W
The bride shall chuse her own dear	B
	-
Then Robin Hood put his horn to his mouth	Z
And blew blasts two and three	B
When four and twenty bowmen bold	X
Came leaping over the lea	B
	-
And when they came into the church yard	A2
Marching all in a row	B
The first man was Allen a Dale	C
To give bold Robin his bow	L
	-
This is thy true love Robin he said	F
Young Allen as I hear say	G
And you shall be married this same time	B2
Before we depart away	G
	-
That shall not be the bishop he cried	C2
For thy word shall not stand	D2
They shall be three times asked in the church	W
As the law is of our land	D2
	-
Robin Hood pulled off the bishop's coat	E2
And put it upon Little John	V
By the faith of my body then Robin said	F
This cloth doth make thee a man	V
	-
When Little John went into the quire	B
The people began to laugh	F2
He asked them seven times into church	W
Lest three times should not be enough	G2
	-
Who gives me this maid said Little John	V
Quoth Robin Hood That do I	I
And he that takes her from Allen a Dale	C
Full dearly he shall her buy	I
	-
And then having ended this merry wedding	O
The bride looked like a queen	V
And so they returned to the merry greenwood	D
Amongst the leaves so green	V
