Spirit of Sherwood
Robin Hood is here again, and all his merry thieves
Hear a ghostly bugle-note shivering through the leaves
The dead are coming back again, the years are rolled away
In Sherwood, in Sherwood, about the break of day
Our hearts are stout, our bows are good
Cull'd in the forest of Sherwood
One hundred valiant men had this brave Robin Hood
Still ready at his call, that bowmen were right good
All clad in Lincoln green, with caps of red and blue
His fellow's winded horn not one of them but knew
And these will strike for England
To foil and spoil the tyrant
And man and maid be free
Beneath the merry greenwood tree
The spirit of Sherwood
Give me my bent bow
Set an arrow on the string
And where the arrow falls
There, please burry me
Burry me!
Robin Hood
The good
Spirit of Sherwood
Underneath this little stone
Lies Robert Earl of Huntingdon
No other archer was so good
And people called him Robin Hood
Here lie his primer and his beads
His bent bow, his arrows keen
His good sword and his holy cross
Now cast on flowers fresh and green
Robin Hood
Calling as he used to call
Faint and far away
In Sherwood, in Sherwood
About the break of day
