Subject(s): Robin Hood


ROBIN HOOD and little John,
They both are gone to fare, O,
And we will to the greenwood go
To see what they do there, O;
And for to chase the buck and doe,
To chase the buck and doe, O,
And for to chase the buck and doe,
With Halan To, sing merry, O!

We were up as soon as day
To fetch the summer home, O,
The summer is a-coming on
And winter is a-gone, O:
With Halan To, sing merry, O!

Those Frenchmen that made such a boast
They shall eat the grey-goose feather, O,
And we will eat up all the roast,
In every land where'er we go,
Sing Halan To, and merry, O.

Saint George next shall be our song,
Saint George he was a knight, O,
Of all the kings in Christendom
King Georgy is the right, O.
Sing Halan To, and Georgy, O!

Bless aunt Mary with power and might,
God send us peace in merry England,
Pray send us peace both day and night,
For ever more in merry England.
With Halan To, sing merry, O!
