Two soundtracks exist for the film. In 1975 [[Vladimir Vysotsky]] wrote and performed seven ballads, six of them were included in the final version.<ref>[https://www.proza.ru/2017/06/28/1320 Стрелы Робин Гуда. Баллада о Высоцком]</ref> However a recommendation by [[Goskino]] editorial board called them inadequate for a romantic adventure; the real reason being conflicts with Vysotsky. In 1976 new songs were performed by [[Aija Kukule]] and [[Viktors Lapčenoks]], lyrics by [[Lev Prozorovsky]], music by [[Raimonds Pauls]], this version was released in the cinemas. Four of Vysotsky's songs were later used in 1982 film ''[[The Ballad of the Valiant Knight Ivanhoe]]'' also directed by Tarasov, set in the same time and place and using some of the same characters. In the 1990s the film was successfully re-released with the 1975 soundtrack. The DVDs also have the 1975 soundtrack.
