 Leggendario eroe dell'Inghilterra medioevale, Robin Hood 'rubava ai ricchi per dare ai poveri', come recita una delle tante ballate a lui dedicate. Con la sua banda, tra cui Little John e Friar Tuck, si rifugia nell'inaccessibile foresta di Sherwood, seguito dall'amata Marian. In costante lotta con lo sceriffo di Nottingham ma leale al re, il più famoso e amato fuorilegge della storia farà rivivere un periodo di grande interesse storico come quello delle Crociate e di Riccardo Cuor di Leone.

D  C F C C D  A  D  Bb D  It s of a pedlar, pedlar bold A pedlar bold there chanced to be. He took his pack all on his back, And merrily trudged o er the lea. By chance he met two troublesome men, Two troublesome men they chanced to be; The one of them was bold Robin Hood, And the other was Little John so free.  O pedlar, pedlar, what s in thy pack? Come speedily and tell to me.   I ve several suits of the gay green cloth, And silken bowstrings by two and three.   If you ve several suits of the gay green cloth, And silken bowstrings two or three, Then by my body,  cries Little John,  One half your pack shall belong to me.   Oh no, oh no,  says the pedlar bold,  Oh no, oh no, that never can be, For there s never a man from fair Nottingham Can take one half my pack from me.  Then the pedlar he pulled off his pack, And put it a little below his knee, Saying:  If you do move me one perch from this, My pack and all shall go with thee.  77 A  D
