_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ A chance to be [G]
a [D] peddler bold, A [Dm] peddler [C] bold, a [D] chance to be,
He put his pack all [C] on his back, So merrily he trudged [Dm] all the way. _ _ _
_ _ By chance he [Gm] met two [Dm] troublesome men, Two troublesome [E] men they chanced [D] to be,
Though one of them was [C] bold Robin Hood, The other was little John [D] _ [G] Sulphry.
[Dm] _
[D] _ _ _ O peddler, [G] peddler, what's [Dm] a nice pack?
Come [D] speedily and tell to me,
I've several suits [G] of the gay [C] green silks, And silken bowstrings by [Dm] two or three. _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ [D] _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ [Dm] _ Then by my body, cries [C] little John, One half your pack shall [Dm] belong to me. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
O nay, O nay, [Em] said [Dm] the peddler bold, O nay, O nay, [G] that [D] can never be,
For there's never a man [C] from fair Nottingham Can take one half [G] my pack [D] from [G] me.
[Dm] _ _ _ _
_ Then the peddler [Em] he pulled [Dm] off his pack, And put it a [G] little below [Dm] his knee,
Saying, if you do move [G] me one [C] perch from this, My pack and all shall [D] gangly.
[G] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ Then little [G] John he [D] drew his sword, The [Dm] peddler by [E] his [D] pack did stand,
They fought until they [C] both did sweat, Till he cried, peddler, [Em] pray [Dm] hold your hand. _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[D] _ Then Robin [G] Hood he was [Dm] standing by, And he [Em] did laugh most [D] heartily,
Saying, I could [Dm] find a man of [C] smaller scale, Could thrash the peddler [Em] and [D] also thee.
[Dm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Go you try, master, says little John, Go you try, [G] master, most [Dm] speedily,
For by my body, says [C] little John, I'm sure this night [Dm] you will know me. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ [D] _ _ _ Then Robin [G] Hood he [Dm] drew his sword, And the peddler by [Em] his [D] pack did stand,
They fought till the blood in [E] streams [C] did flow, Till he cried, peddler, [Dm] pray hold your hand.
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[D] _ O peddler, [Em] peddler, what is [Dm] thy name?
Come [G] speedily and tell [Dm] to me,
Come my name [G] I ne'er [C] will tell, Till both your names you have [D] told _ me.
[Em] _ _
[D] _ Though one of [G] us is bold [D] Robin Hood, The other [Em] is little [D] John so free,
[Dm] Now says the peddler it lays to [C] my good will, Whether my name I choose to [Dm] tell thee. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _
[Dm] _ I am Gamble [Em] Gold of the Gay [Dm] Green Woods, And I travelled [Em] far beyond [D] the sea,
For killing a man in my [C] father's land, From my country was [G] forced to flee.
[Dm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ If you are Gamble Gold of the Gay Green Woods, And travelled [G] far [D] beyond the sea,
You are my mother's [G] old [C] sister's son, That nearer cousins [Dm] can we be. _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ They sheathed their [G] swords with [Dm] friendly words, So merrily [G] they [D] did agree,
They [Dm] went to a tavern [G] and [C] there they dined, Crack bottles [Dm] most merrily. _ _ _ _
