THE ROBBER GIRL

Come listen a while and I'll tell you a story

of three merry gentlemen riding along

They met a fair maiden and unto her did say,

"We're afraid this cold morning might

do you some harm."

"Oh no, kind sir," said the maid, "you're mistaken

to think this cold morning might do me some harm.

Yet there is one thing I crave,

and it lies twixt your legs sir

if you give me that it will keep me warm."

"Oh since you do crave it, my dear you shall have it,

if you'll come with me under yonder green tree.

oh since you do crave it, my dear you shall have it,

I'll make these two gentlemen witness to thee."

The gentleman lighted and straight way she mounted,

and looking the gentlemen hard in the face,

said, "ye knew not my meaning,

you wrong understood me."

and away she went galloping down the long lane.

"Come gentleman lend me one of your horses,

that I might ride after her down the long lane.

If I over-take her, I warrant I'll make her

return unto me own horse again."

This young maid was watching,

she saw them a-coming,

She instantly then took her pistol in hand,

said, "doubt not my skill,

or it's you I shall kill

and I'll have you stand back

or you are a dead man."

"Oh why do you spend all your time here in talking,

oh why do you spend all of your time here in vain?

Come give her a penny, it's what she deserves,

and I warrant she'll give you your horse back again."

"Oh no, kind sir," said the maid, you're mistaken,

for if it's his loss than it is my gain,

and you are a witness that he gave it to me."

And away she went galloping over the plain.

And here be me problem:

How does the blasted thing go? I can't seem ta find any sound file fer it online.. and it's a song I'd love dearly to sing. ^_^

Does anyone know where to find this song or ones like it in even midi's, at least?

Any help would be most obliged. ^_^
