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

His daring 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 bold Rob Roy is lord below.
