Your Maid From The Heavens Morgan Lee

Description:Come, all you brave gallants, and listen a while, With he down, down, an a down That are in the bowers within; For of Robin Hood, that archer good, A song I intend for to sing. These broadsides were all collected by an American historian in the s, Francis Child. Away then the sheriff and Robin did ride, To the forrest of merry Sherwood; Then Robin he set his horn to his mouth, And blew but blasts three; Then quickly anon there came Little John, And all his company. They would have news and ballads and were sold for a penny a piece. When other butchers no meat could sell, Robin got both gold and fee; For he sold more meat for one peny Than others could do for three. Often the songs would tell the tales of highwaymen and robbers who were about to be executed, but they also featured great heroes and legends like Robin Hood. You can take a look at the original broadside right here!
