Lythe and listin gentilmen
That be of frebode blode
I shall you tel of a gode yeman
His name was Robyn Hode

Robyn was a prude outlawe
Whyles he walked on grounde
So curtseye an outlawe as he was one
Was never non founde

Robyn stode in Bernesdale
And lenyd hym to a tre
And bi hym stode Litell Johnn
A gode yeman was he
