When Robin Hood and Little John	A
Down a down a down a down	B
Went o'er yon bank of broom	C
Said Robin Hood to Little John	A
We have shot for many a pound	D
Hey down a down a down	B
	-
But I am not able to shoot one shot more	E
My arrows will not flee	F
But I have a cousin lives down below	G
Please God she will bleed me	F
	-
Now Robin is to fair Kirkley gone	H
As fast as he can win	I
But before he came there as we do hear	J
He was taken very ill	K
	-
And when that he came to fair Kirkley hall	L
He knocked all at the ring	M
But none was so ready as his cousin herself	N
For to let bold Robin in	I
	-
Will you please to sit down cousin Robin she said	O
And drink some beer with me	F
No I will neither eat nor drink	P
Till I am blooded by thee	F
	-
Well I have a room cousin Robin she said	O
Which you did never see	F
And if you please to walk therein	I
You blooded by me shall be	F
	-
She took him by the lily white hand	Q
And led him to a private room	C
And there she blooded bold Robin Hood	R
Whilst one drop of blood would run	S
	-
She blooded him in the vein of the arm	T
And locked him up in the room	C
There did he bleed all the live long day	U
Until the next day at noon	V
	-
He then bethought him of a casement door	E
Thinking for to begone	V
He was so weak he could not leap	W
Nor he could not get down	V
	-
He then bethought him of his bugle horn	V
Which hung low down to his knee	V
He set his horn unto his mouth	X
And blew out weak blasts three	V
	-
Then Little John when hearing him	Y
As he sat under the tree	V
I fear my master is near dead	O
He blows so wearily	V
	-
Then Little John to Fair Kirkley is gone	V
As fast as he can dree	V
But when he came to Kirkley hall	L
He broke locks two or three	V
	-
Until he came bold Robin to	Z
Then he fell on his knee	V
A boon a boon cries Little John	V
Master I beg of thee	V
	-
What is that boon quoth Robin Hood	R
Little John thou begst of me	V
It is to burn fair Kirkley hall	L
And all their nunnery	V
	-
Now nay now nay quoth Robin Hood	R
That boon I'll not grant thee	V
I never hurt woman in all my life	A2
Nor man in woman's company	V
	-
I never hurt fair maid in all my time	B2
Nor at my end shall it be	V
But give me my bent bow in my hand	Q
And a broad arrow I'll let flee	V
And where this arrow is taken up	C2
There shall my grave digged be	V
	-
Lay me a green sod under my head	O
And another under my feet	D2
And lay my bent bow by my side	E2
Which was my music sweet	D2
And make my grave of gravel and green	V
Which is most right and meet	D2
	-
Let me have length and breadth enough	F2
With a green sod under my head	O
That they may say when I am dead	O
Here lies bold Robin Hood	R
	-
These words they readily promised him	Y
Which did bold Robin please	G2
And there they buried bold Robin Hood	R
Near to the fair Kirkleys	G2
