Some talk of lords, and some talk of lairds,
And some talk of barrons bold,
But I’ll tell you a story of bold Robin Hood,
How he robbed the Bishop of his gold.

‘Cause kill us a venison,’ sayes Robin Hood,
‘And we’ll dress it by the high-way side,
And we will watch narrowly for the Bishop,
Lest some other way he do ride.’
