by Unknown

There’s some will talk of lords and knights,

Doun, a doun, a doun,

And some of yeomen good ;

But I will tell you of Will Scarlòck,

Little John, and Robin Hood.

Doun, a doun, a doun, a doun.

They were outlaws, ’tis well known,

And men of a noble blood ;

And many a time was their valour shown

In the forrest of merry Sheerwood.
