Since Robin Hood
Language: English
Since Robin Hood, Maid Marian, And Little John are gone-a The hobby horse was quite forgot, When Kemp did dance alone-a He did labor After the tabor. For to dance, Then into France. He took pains to skip it In hope of gains. He did trip it On the toe, Diddle diddle diddle doe.
