No. 17 - Trio - Wilder, Sherwood & Bantam Lyrics by B. C. Stephenson

[Sherwood:] Are you sure that they are all in bed?
[Wilder:] Silence, silence. Be careful how you tread.
[Sherwood:] Let me bind you.
[Wilder:] Take care, not too tight!
[Sherwood:] Now's the time to wake
our worthy friend the Knight!
[Wilder:] Ha! ha!
[Sherwood:] Ho! ho!
[Bantam:] Who's there?
[Wilder:] Hush! here he comes!
[Bantam:] Speak! Who is there?
[Sherwood:] We've got him now!
[Bantam:] Confound the stair!
For mercy, sirs, I humbly crave,
Pray take my cash and all I have,
But not my life!
[Ensemble:] We want your cash and all you have,
We want your cash and all you have,
But not your life!
We want your cash and all you have,
We want your cash and all you have,
We want your cash
But not your life!
