He blew both loud and amain,
And quickly sixty of Robin Hoods men,
Came shining over the plain.
Oh, who are ‘those,’ the sheriff he said,
Come tripping over the lee ?
They’re my attendants, brave Robin did say,
They’ll pay a visit to thee.
They took the gallows from the slack,
They set it in the glen,
They hang’d the proud sherìff on that,
