A FAMOUS MAN IS ROBIN HOOD.

A famous man is Robin Hood,
The English ballad singers' joy;
But Scotland has a thief as good,
She has her bold Rob Roy!
A dauntless heart McGregor shows
And wond'rous length and strength of arm
He long was quell'd his highland foes,
And kept his friends from harm.
A famous man, &c.

His darling mood protects him still,
For 'tis the robber's simple plan;
That they should take-- who have the will,
And they should keep--who can.
And while Rob Roy is free to rove,
In summer's heat, and winter's snow,
The eagle he is lord above,
And Rob is lord below.
A famous man, &c.
