The Jolly Pinder of Wakefield (Roud 3981, Child 124) is an English-language folk song about Robin Hood.
Alternatively, online facsimiles of the ballad are available for public consumption.
[2] This broadside ballad, opens with a pinder, a townsman in charge of impounding stray animals,[3] exclaiming that no one will dare trespass on Wakefield under his watchful eye.
The pinder's boasts are overheard by Robin and his merry men, who—as they approach the pinder—are promptly turned away and asked to leave.
The ballad concludes with the pinder promising that after Michaelmas he will join Robin and his band.
