Under the greenwood tree

  Under the greenwood tree
  Who loves to lie with me,
  And tune his merry note
  Unto the sweet bird’s throat,
Come hither, come hither, come hither;
  Here shall he see
  No enemy,
But winter and rough weather.

  Who doth ambition shun,
  And loves to lie i’ the sun,
  Seeking the food he eats,
  And pleas’d with what he gets,
Come hither, come hither, come hither;
  Here shall he see
  No enemy,
But winter and rough weather.
