Текст песни Gamble Gold (Robin Hood) - Steeleye Span

There chanced to be a pedlar bold
A pedlar bold, he chanced to be
He rolled his pack all on his back
And he came tripping orderly

By chance, he met two troublesome blades
Troublesome blades they chanced to be
One of them was Robin Hood
The other was Little John, so free

Gentlemen on high-born blood
Gamble Gold and Robin Hood

"Oh, pedlar, pedlar, what's in the pack?
Come speedily and tell to me"
"Several suits of the gay green silk
And silken bow strings, two of three"

"If you have suits of the gay green silk
And silken bow strings, two of three"
"By my body," cries Robin Hood
"Half your pack belongs to me"

Gentlemen on high-born blood
Gamble Gold and Robin Hood

"Oh no, oh no," says the pedlar bold
"No, that can never be
There's never a man in Nottingham
Can take one half my pack from me"

Then Robin Hood, he drew his sword
And the pedlar, by his pack, did stand
They fought 'til the blood in streams did flow
And he cried, "Pedlar, hold your hand"

Gentlemen on high-born blood
Gamble Gold and Robin Hood

"Oh, pedlar, pedlar, what's thy name?
Come speedily and tell to me"
"I'm Gamble Gold of the gay green woods
I've traveled far beyond the sea"

"If you're Gamble Gold of the gay green woods
Then my cousin you must be
Let us away to a tavern near
And bottles crack most merrily"

Gentlemen on high-born blood
Gamble Gold and Robin Hood
