I forbid you maidens all that wear gold in your hair | |
To travel to Carterhaugh for young Tam Lin is there | |
None that go by Carterhaugh but they leave him a pledge | |
Either their mantles of green or else their maidenhead | |
Janet tied her kirtle green a bit above her knee | |
And she's gone to Carterhaugh as fast as go can she | |
She'd not pulled a double rose, a rose but only two | |
When up then came young Tam Lin, says "Lady, pull no more" | |
"And why come you to Carterhaugh without command from me?" | |
"I'll come and go", young Janet said, "and ask no leave of thee" | |
Janet tied her kirtle green a bit above her knee | |
And she's gone to her father as fast as go can she | |
Well, up then spoke her father dear and he spoke meek and mild | |
"Oh, and alas, Janet," he said, "I think you go with child" | |
"Well, if that be so," Janet said, "myself shall bear the blame | |
There's not a knight in all your hall shall get the baby's name" | |
For if my love were an earthly knight as he is an elfin grey | |
I'd not change my own true love for any knight you have" | |
Janet tied her kirtle green a bit above her knee | |
And she's gone to Carterhaugh as fast as go can she | |
"Oh, tell to me, Tam Lin," she said, "why came you here to dwell?" | |
"The Queen of Faeries caught me when from my horse I fell | |
And at the end of seven years she pays a tithe to Hell | |
I so fair and full of flesh and feared it be myself | |
But tonight is Hallowe'en and the faerie folk ride | |
Those that would their true love win at Miles Cross they must bide | |
First let past the horses black and then let past the brown | |
Quickly run to the white steed and pull the rider down | |
For I'll ride on the white steed, the nearest to the town | |
For I was an earthly knight, they give me that renown | |
Oh, they will turn me in your arms to a newt or a snake | |
But hold me tight and fear not, I am your baby's father | |
And they will turn me in your arms into a lion bold | |
But hold me tight and fear not and you will love your child | |
And they will turn me in your arms into a naked knight | |
But cloak me in your mantle and keep me out of sight" | |
In the middle of the night she heard the bridle ring | |
She heeded what he did say and young Tam Lin did win | |
Then up spoke the Faerie Queen, an angry queen was she | |
"Woe betide her ill-fought face, an ill death may she die" | |
"Oh, had I known, Tam Lin," she said, "what this night I did see | |
I'd have looked him in the eyes and turned him to a tree" |
