Luyện nghe bài hát Tam Lin

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

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

that go by Carterhaugh but they leave him a pledge
Either their mantles of or else their maidenhead"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And they will turn me in your 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 what he did say and Tam Lin did win

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

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