From A Musicall Dreame, or The Fourth Booke of Ayres (1609), by Robert Jones.
[Verse 1]
G C G In Sherwood lived stout Robin Hood, D C D An archer great none greater. C F A C His bow and shafts were sure and good, D C G Yet Cupid's were much better. G D E Robin could shoot at many a hart and miss, F C E D Cupid at first could hit a heart of his.
[Chorus]
A D Hey, jolly Robin, D C Ho, jolly Robin, G D Hey, jolly Robin Hood, G Love finds out me D As well as thee, G To follow me, G To follow me, C To follow me, D G To follow me to the green wood.
[Verse 2]
G C G A noble thief was Robin Hood, D C D Wise was he could deceive him, C F A C Yet Marian in his bravest mood D C G Could of his heart bereave him. G D E No greater thief lies hidden under skies F C E D Than beauty closely lodged in women's eyes.
[Chorus]
A D Hey, jolly Robin, D C Ho, jolly Robin, G C D Hey, jolly Robin Hood, G Love finds out me D As well as thee G To follow me, G To follow me, C To follow me, D G To follow me to the green wood.
[Verse 3]
G C G An outlaw was this Robin Hood, D C D His life free and unruly, C F A C Yet to faire Marian bound he stood, D C G And love's debt paid her duly. G D E Whom curb of strictest law could not hold in, F C E D Love with obedience and a wink could win.
[Chorus]
A D Hey jolly Robin, D C Ho jolly Robin, G D Hey, jolly Robin Hood, G Love finds out me D As well as thee G To follow me, G To follow me, C To follow me, D G To follow me to the green wood.
[Verse 4]
G C G Now wend we home, stout Robin Hood, D C D Leave we the woods behind us. C F A C Love passions cannot be withstood, D C G Love everywhere will find us. G D E I lived in field and town, and so did he, F C E D I got me to the woods, love followed me.
[Chorus]
A D Hey, jolly Robin, D C Ho, jolly Robin, G D Hey, jolly Robin Hood, G Love finds out me D As well as thee G To follow me, G To follow me, C To follow me, D G To follow me to the green wood.
