Maid Marian.
175
Bold Robin has robed him in ghostly attire,And forth he is gone like a holy friar,Singing, hey down, ho down, down, derry down:And of two grey friars he soon was aware,Regaling themselves with dainty fare,All on the fallen leaves go brown.
"Good morrow, good brothers," said bold Robin Hood,"And what make you in the good greenwood,Singing hey down, ho down, down, derry down?Now give me, I pray you, wine and food;For none can I find in the good greenwood,All on the fallen leaves so brown."
"Good brother," they said, "we would give you full fain,But we have no more than enough for twain,Singing, hey down, ho down, down, derry down.""Then give me some money," said bold Robin Hood,"For none can I find in the good greenwood,All on the fallen leaves so brown."
