Robin and Richard (Anonymous, set by P. Warlock) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Robin and Richard were two pretty men,
They lay in bed till the clock struck ten.
Then up starts Robin and looks at the sky:
"Oh, brother Richard, the sun's very high.
You go before with the bottle and bag,
And I will come after on little Jack Nag."
