Tam Lin - Fairport Convention (公平港口大会)[00:00:00]

I forbid you maidens all that wear gold in your hair[00:00:10]

To travel to Carter Hall for young Tam Lin is there[00:00:16]

None that go by Carter Hall but they leave him a pledge[00:00:25]

Either their mantles of green or else their maidenhead"[00:00:31]

Janet tied her kirtle green a bit above her knee[00:00:40]

And she's gone to Carter Hall as fast as go can she[00:00:47]

She'd not pulled a double rose a rose but only two[00:00:56]

When up there came young Tam Lin says "Lady pull no more"[00:01:02]

"And why come you to Carter Hall without command from me "[00:01:10]

"I'll come and go" young Janet said "and ask no leave of thee"[00:01:18]

Janet tied her kirtle green a bit above her knee[00:01:55]

And she's gone to her father as fast as go can she[00:02:02]

Well up then spoke her father dear and he spoke meek and mild[00:02:10]

"Oh and alas Janet " he said "I think you go with child"[00:02:17]

"Well if that be so " Janet said "myself shall bear the blame[00:02:25]

There's not a knight in all your hall shall get the baby's name[00:02:32]

For if my love were an earthly knight as he is an elfin grey[00:02:41]

I'd not change my own true love for any knight you have"[00:02:48]

Janet tied her kirtle green a bit above her knee[00:03:19]

And she's gone to Carter Hall as fast as go can she[00:03:26]

"Oh tell to me Tam Lin " she said "why came you here to dwell "[00:03:34]

"The Queen of Faeries caught me when from my horse I fell[00:03:41]

And at the end of seven years she pays a tithe to hell[00:03:50]

I so fair and full of flesh and feared it be myself[00:03:57]

But tonight is Hallowe'en and the faery folk ride[00:04:06]

Those that would their true love win at Miles Cross they must buy[00:04:12]

So first let past the horses black and then let past the brown[00:04:21]

Quickly run to the white steed and pull the rider down[00:04:27]

For I'll ride on the white steed the nearest to the town[00:04:36]

For I was an earthly knight they give me that renown[00:04:43]

Oh they will turn me in your arms to a newt or a snake[00:04:51]

But hold me tight and fear not I am your baby's father[00:04:58]

And they will turn me in your arms into a lion bold[00:05:07]

But hold me tight and fear not and you will love your child[00:05:14]

And they will turn me in your arms into a naked knight[00:05:23]

But cloak me in your mantle and keep me out of sight"[00:05:30]

In the middle of the night she heard the bridle ring[00:06:07]

She heeded what he did say and young Tam Lin did win[00:06:14]

Then up spoke the Faery Queen an angry queen was she[00:06:22]

Woe betide her ill-fought face an ill death may she die[00:06:29]

"Oh had I known Tam Lin " she said "what this knight I did see[00:06:37]

I have looked him in the eyes and turned him to a tree[00:06:45]
