Songs Title：tam lin[00:00:02]

I forbid you maidens all that wear gold in your hair[00:00:08]

To travel to Carter Hall for young Tam Lin is there[00:00:15]

None that go by Carter Hall but they leave him a pledge[00:00:23]

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

Janet tied her kirtle green a bit above her knee[00:00:38]

And she's gone to Carter Hall as fast as go can she[00:00:46]

She'd not pulled a double rose a rose but only two[00:00:54]

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

And why come you to Carter Hall without command from me [00:01:09]

I'll come and go young Janet said and ask no leave of thee[00:01:17]

Janet tied her kirtle green a bit above her knee[00:01:54]

And she's gone to her father as fast as go can she[00:02:01]

Well up then spoke her father dear and he spoke meek and mild[00:02:09]

Oh and alas Janet he said I think you go with child[00:02:16]

Well if that be so Janet said myself shall bear the blame[00:02:24]

There's not a knight in all your hall shall get the baby's name[00:02:31]

For if my love were an earthly knight as he is an elfin grey[00:02:40]

I'd not change my own true love for any knight you have[00:02:47]

Janet tied her kirtle green a bit above her knee[00:03:17]

And she's gone to Carter Hall as fast as go can she[00:03:24]

Oh tell to me Tam Lin she said why came you here to dwell [00:03:33]

The Queen of Faeries caught me when from my horse I fell[00:03:40]

And at the end of seven years she pays a tithe to hell[00:03:49]

I so fair and full of flesh and feared it be myself[00:03:56]

But tonight is Hallowe'en and the faery folk ride[00:04:05]

Those that would their true love win at Miles Cross they must buy[00:04:11]

So first let past the horses black and then let past the brown[00:04:19]

Quickly run to the white steed and pull the rider down[00:04:26]

For I'll ride on the white steed the nearest to the town[00:04:35]

For I was an earthly knight they give me that renown[00:04:42]

Oh they will turn me in your arms to a newt or a snake[00:04:50]

But hold me tight and fear not I am your baby's father[00:04:57]

And they will turn me in your arms into a lion bold[00:05:06]

But hold me tight and fear not and you will love your child[00:05:13]

And they will turn me in your arms into a naked knight[00:05:22]

But cloak me in your mantle and keep me out of sight[00:05:29]

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

She heeded what he did say and young Tam Lin did win[00:06:12]

Then up spoke the Faery Queen an angry queen was she[00:06:21]

Woe betide her ill-fought face an ill death may she die[00:06:28]

Oh had I known Tam Lin she said what this knight I did see[00:06:36]

I have looked him in the eyes and turned him to a tree[00:06:44]
