《Tam Lin》歌词

[00:00:00] Artist：fairport convention

[00:00:02] Songs Title：tam lin

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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