Stop and listen, gentlemen, That be of freeborn blood, And I shall tell of a goodly man, His name is Robin Hood. Robin was a prude outlaw, And against the law he fought, So courteous a leader as he was one … Whether he wants to be or not!
Deep Robin Hood fans might recognize these verses as only slightly deviations from one of the oldest surviving recorded stories of Robin Hood, "A Geste of Robyn Hode," and yes I am 100% suggesting that Friar Tuck wrote the original versions.
