Robin Hood
O, there's many one sings of the grass, the grass
And many one sings of the corn
But those that sing of good Robin Hood, know little where he was born
O, William was large of limb and life and come of high degree
And he has gone to Earl Richard to serve for a meat and fee
Earl Richard had one daughter dear, the fairest in the land
And William he has courted her to ask her for her hand
O, would my father should get word, what's passed 'tween you and me
Before that he should eat or drink, he'd hang you to a tree
When 9 months they were at an end and 8 months they were gone
Young William took his lady fair unto the wood alone
For he was large of limb and life and held her in his arms
She's born to him a fine young son among the leaves so green
When night was gone, the day did come, the sun began to peep
Up and raised the Earl Richard out of your drowsy sleep
He called upon his merry men by one, by two, by three
O, what has come of my daughter dear, that she's not come to me
They sought her fore, they sought her back, they sought her up and down
They found her in the good green wood nursing a fine young son
Earl Richard took the baby boy and kissed him tenderly
Though I would see your father hung, your mother's dear to me
He kissed him once and twice again, my grandson I thee claim
And Robin Hood in the good green wood and that shall be your name
O, there's many one sings of the grass, the grass
And many one sings of the corn
But those that sing of good Robin Hood know little where he was born
Robin Hood
Oh, muchos cantan sobre la hierba, la hierba
Y muchos cantan sobre el maíz
Pero aquellos que cantan sobre el buen Robin Hood, saben poco de dónde nació
Oh, William era grande de cuerpo y vida y de alta alcurnia
Y fue a servir a Earl Richard por comida y salario
Earl Richard tenía una hija querida, la más hermosa de la tierra
Y William la cortejó para pedirle su mano
Oh, si mi padre se enterara de lo que ha pasado entre tú y yo
Antes de que coma o beba, te colgaría de un árbol
Cuando 9 meses habían pasado y 8 meses habían pasado
El joven William llevó a su amada dama al bosque solo
Porque era grande de cuerpo y vida y la sostenía en sus brazos
Ella le dio un hermoso hijo entre las hojas tan verdes
Cuando la noche se fue, llegó el día, el sol comenzó a asomar
Y despertó al Earl Richard de su sueño somnoliento
Llamó a sus hombres alegres uno por uno, dos por dos, tres por tres
Oh, ¿qué ha pasado con mi querida hija, que no ha venido a mí?
La buscaron adelante, la buscaron atrás, la buscaron arriba y abajo
La encontraron en el buen bosque verde cuidando a un hermoso hijo
Earl Richard tomó al bebé y lo besó tiernamente
Aunque quisiera ver a tu padre ahorcado, tu madre es querida para mí
Lo besó una vez y otra vez, mi nieto, te reclamo
Y Robin Hood en el buen bosque verde y ese será tu nombre
Oh, muchos cantan sobre la hierba, la hierba
Y muchos cantan sobre el maíz
Pero aquellos que cantan sobre el buen Robin Hood saben poco de dónde nació
