He says, You're young and of tender years,
Not fit to come to his degree;
And he will send you three Tennis-Balls
That with them you may learn to play.

Recruit me Cheshire and Lancashire,
And Derby Hills that are so free;
No marry'd man, or widow's son,
For no widow's curse shall go with me.

They recruited Cheshire and Lancashire,
And Derby Hills that are so free;
No marry'd man, nor no widow's son,
Yet there was a jovial bold company.

O then we march'd into the French land
With drums and trumpets so merrily;
And then bespoke the King of France,
Lo yonder comes proud King Henry.

The first shot that the Frenchmen gave
They kill'd our Englishmen so free,
We kill'd ten thousand of the French,
And the rest of them they run away.

And then we marched to Paris gates,
With drums and trumpets so merrily,
O then bespoke the King of France,
The Lord have mercy on my men and me.

O I will send him his tribute home,
Ten ton of Gold that is due to he,
And the finest flower that is in all France,
To the Rose of England I will give free.
