YIOW tappagyn jiargey,
As rybbanyn green,
My Vetsey veg villish,
My vees oo lhiam pene.
CHORUS-

Robin y ree, Robin y ree,
Ridlan, aboo, aban, fal dy ridlan,

Robin y ree, Robin y ree.

Yiou tappagyn jiargey,
As rybbanyn ghoo,
Bee oo Ven_rein y Voaldyn,
Shen foddee oo loo. Robin, &c.

O ! Vetsey veg villish,
Nee oo brishey my chree;
T'ad graa d'el oo toorit,
Lesh Robin y ree.
Robin, &c.

THOU shalt get red top-knots,
And ribbons of green,
My dear little Betsey,
If thou wilt be mine.
CHORUS-

Robin the king, Robin the king,
Ridlan, aboo, aban, fal the ridlan,

Robin the king, Robin the king.

Thou shalt get red top-knots,
And ribbons of black;
Thou shalt be Queen of the May,
That thou mayest swear. Robin, &c.

O ! dear little Betsey,
Thou wilt break my heart;
They say thou are art courted
By Robin the king.
Robin, &c.
