A stall version is found on eighteenth century garlands by the likes of Dicey which are in the Bodleian Library. It is a typical street ballad and the language is decidedly modern. Sheppard of london printed an upmarket version c1800 and Pitts printed a broadside with the much-used title of 'Bold Robin Hood'
Bronson gives a tune from Gutch and Rimbault with no text, and a twenty-two stanza text collected in Huddersfield by Frank Kidson, derived from broadsides.
