[00:00:04] Written by：Traditional

[00:00:09] I forbid you maidens all that wear gold in your hair

[00:00:14] To travel to Carterhaugh for young Tam Lin is there

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

[00:00:29] Either their mantles of green or else their maidenhead

[00:00:37] Janet tied her kirtle green a bit above her knee

[00:00:43] And she's gone to Carterhaugh as fast as go can she

[00:00:52] She'd not pulled a double rose a rose but only two

[00:00:58] When up then came young Tam Lin says lady pull no more

[00:01:06] Why come you to Carterhaugh without command from me

[00:01:12] I'll come and go young Janet said and ask no leave of thee

[00:01:47] Janet tied her kirtle green a bit above her knee

[00:01:53] 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

[00:02:07] Oh and alas Janet he said I think you go with child

[00:02:16] If that be so Janet said myself shall bear the blame

[00:02:22] There's not a knight in all your hall shall get the baby's name

[00:02:31] If my love were an earthly knight as he is an elfin grey

[00:02:37] I'd not change my own true love for any knight you have

[00:03:09] Janet tied her kirtle green a bit above her knee

[00:03:15] And she's gone to Carterhaugh as fast as go can she

[00:03:24] Tell to me Tam Lin she said why came you here to dwell

[00:03:30] The queen of faeries caught me when from my horse I fell

[00:03:38] At the end of seven years she pays a tithe to hell

[00:03:44] I so fair and full of flesh and feared it be myself

[00:03:53] But tonight is Hallowe'en and the faerie folk ride

[00:03:59] Those that would their true love win at miles cross they must bide

[00:04:07] First let past the horses black and then let past the brown

[00:04:13] Quickly run to the white steed and pull the rider down

[00:04:21] For I'll ride on the white steed the nearest to the town

[00:04:27] For I was an earthly knight they give me that renown

[00:04:36] They will turn me in your arms to a newt or a snake

[00:04:41] But hold me tight and fear not I am your baby's father

[00:04:50] They will turn me in your arms into a lion bold

[00:04:56] But hold me tight and fear not and you will love your child

[00:05:05] They will turn me in your arms into a naked knight

[00:05:11] But cloak me in your mantle and keep me out of sight

[00:05:51] In the middle of the night she heard the bridle ring

[00:05:57] She heeded what he did say and young Tam Lin did win

[00:06:06] Then up spoke the faerie queen an angry queen was she

[00:06:12] Woe betide her ill fought face an ill death may she die

[00:06:21] Had I known Tam Lin she said what this night I did see

[00:06:27] I'd have looked him in the eyes and turned him to a tree
