Ah, Robin, Gentle Robin

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.
