Robin Hood Lyrics

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 greenAllan Taylor - Robin Hood - http://motolyrics.com/allan-taylor/robin-hood-lyrics.html

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
