Ah, Robin, gentle, Robin,
Tell me how thy leman doth
and thou shalt know of mine.
- My lady is unkind I wis,
- Alack why is she so?
- She lov'th another better than me,
- and yet she will say no.
Ah, Robin, gentle, Robin,
Tell me how thy leman doth
and thou shalt know of mine.
- I cannot think such doubleness
- for I find women true,
- In faith my lady lov'th me well
- she will change for no new.
Ah, Robin, gentle, Robin,
Tell me how thy leman doth
and thou shalt know of mine.
