Full Lyrics
In Sherwood lived stout Robin Hood,
An archer great, none better,
His bow and shafts were sure and good,
Yet Cupid's were much better;
Robin could shoot at many a hart and miss,
Cupid at first could hit a heart of his.
Hey, jolly Robin Hood!
Ho, jolly Robin Hood!
Love finds me,
As well at thee,
To follow me to the greenwood.
A noble thief was Robin Hood,
Wise was he could deceive him;
Marian in his bravest mood
Could of his heart bereave him;
No greater thief lies hidden under skies,
Than beauty closely lodged in woman's eyes.
An outlaw was this Robin Hood,
His life free and unruly,
Yet to fair Marian bound he stood,
And love's debt paid he duly;
Whom curb of strictest law could not hold in.
Love to obedience with a wink could win,
