Luyện nghe bài hát Tam Lin

The words are different from the original (Child) version but this is a very close approximation of the song as performed by Denny.

"I forbid you maidens all wear gold in your hair
To travel to Carterhaugh, for Tam Lin is there

None go by Carterhaugh but they leave him a pledge
Either their mantles of green or their maidenhead"

Janet her kirtle green a bit above her knee
And gone to Carterhaugh as fast as go can she

She'd not pulled a rose, a rose but only two
When up then came young Tam Lin, says, "Lady, no more"

"And why come you to Carterhaugh without from me? "
"I'll and go", young Janet said, "and ask no leave of thee"

Janet tied her green a bit above her knee
And she's gone to her as fast as go can she

Well, up then spoke her father and he spoke meek and mild
"Oh, and alas, Janet," he said, "I you go with child"

"Well, if that be so," Janet said, "myself bear the blame
There's not a knight in all your hall shall get the name

For if my love were an earthly knight, as he is an elfin
I'd not change my own true love for any you have"

So Janet tied her green a bit above her knee
And she's to Carterhaugh as fast as go can she

"h, to me, Tam Lin," he said, "hy came you here to dwell? "
"The queen of fairies caught me when from my I fell

And at the end of seven years she a tithe to hell
I so fair and full of flesh and it be myself

But tonight is Halloween and the folk ride
Those would let true love win at Mile's Cross they must bide

So first let pass the horses black and then let pass the
Quickly run to the steed and pull the rider down

For I'll ride on the white steed, the nearest to the
For I was an knight, they give me that renown

Oh, they will turn me in your arms to a newt or a
But hold me tight and fear not, I am baby's father

And they will turn me in arms into a lion bold
But hold me tight and fear not and you will love your

And they turn me in your arms into a naked knight
But cloak me in your and keep me out of sight"

In the middle of the night she the bridle ring
She heeded he did say and young Tam Lin did win

Then up the fairy queen, an angry queen was she,
"Woe her ill-far'd face, an ill death may she die"

"Oh, had I known, Tam Lin,'' she said, "what this I did see
I'd looked him in the eyes and turned him to a tree"
