No more chant your old rhymes about old robin hood
His feats I do little admire
Ill sing the achievements of general ludd
Now the hero of nottingham shire
Those engines of mischief were sentenced to die
By unanimous vote of the trade
And ludd who cannot a position defy
Was the grand executioner made
Whether guarded by soldiers along the highway
Or closely secured in a room
He shivers them up by night and by day
And nothing can soften their doom
Shall the whole team of humble no longer oppressed
And shall ludd sheath his conquering sword
Be his grievance instantly met
