For Guest meself's benefit: the missing bit of Johnny Cock-

'As I was walking through the woods and down among the scrogs
The finest youth I ever saw lay sleeping tween two dogs.

The shirt that was upon his back was of the holland fine
The doublet that was over that was of the Linncoln twine.

The buttons that were on his sleeves were made of gold so good
And the two dogs he lay between had caked their mouths in blood.'

Up then spoke the head forester that was Johnny's sister's son:
'If that be young Johnny Cock to the greenwood we'll be gone.'

The very first shot that they did shoot hit Johnny in the thigh;
The second shot that they did shoot the tears did blind his eye.
