Says, "Though I would your father hang,

Your mother's dear to me."

He kissed him oer and o'er again;

"My grandson I thee claim;

And Robin Hood in gude green wood,

And that shall be your name."

And mony ane sings o' grass, o' grass,

And mony ane sings o' corn;

And mony ane sings o' Robin Hood,

Kens little where he was born.
