W:As Robin was driving his wagon along
W:The trees in full bloom and the birds in full song
W:I saw a young damsel was going to and fro
W:As Robin .................... geeho
W:
W:(Chorus:}That's well done, Robin, drive on, Robin, ride up and geeho.
W:
W:I hastened my horses to walk by her side
W:The roads being dirty I asked her to ride
W:I heaved her up gently, lay her at her ease
W:Then it's come and lie with me, young man if you please. etc.
W:
W:But if this young damsel she asked** me her name
W:There's some call me Robin and some call me Bon
W:But as for the other one I dare not to tell
W:For fear this young damsel she chance for to swell.
