[00:21]Janet sits in her lonely room
[00:24]Sewing a silken seam
[00:26]And looking out on Carterhaugh
[00:29]Among the roses green
[00:31]And Janet sits in her lonely bower
[00:34]Sewing a silken thread
[00:37]And longed to be in Carterhaugh
[00:39]Among the roses red
[00:44]She's let the seam fall at her heel
[00:47]The needle to her toe
[00:49]And she has gone to Carterhaugh
[00:52]As fast as she can go
[00:55]She hadn't pulled a rose, a rose
[00:57]A rose, but only one
[01:00]When then appeared him, young Tamlin
[01:02]Says, “Lady, let alone”
[01:05]“What makes you pull the rose, the rose?
[01:08]What makes you break the tree?
[01:10]What makes you come to Carterhaugh
[01:13]Without the leave of me?”
[01:17]“But Carterhaugh is not your own
[01:20]Roses there are many
[01:22]I'll come and go all as I please
[01:25]And not ask leave of any”
[01:27]And he has took her by the hand
[01:30]Took her by the sleeve
[01:33]And he has laid this lady down
[01:35]Among the roses green
[01:38]And he has took her by the arm
[01:40]Took her by the hem
[01:42]And he has laid this lady down
[01:45]Among the roses red
[02:07]There's four and twenty ladies fair
[02:11]Sewing at the silk
[02:14]And Janet goes among them all
[02:17]Her face as pale as milk
[02:19]And four and twenty gentlemen
[02:22]Playing at the chess
[02:24]And Janet goes among them all
[02:27]As green as any glass
[02:29]Then up and spoke her father
[02:32]He's spoken meek and mild
[02:35]“Oh, alas, my daughter
[02:37]I fear you go with child”
[02:40]“And is it to a man of might
[02:42]Or to a man of means
[02:45]Or who among my gentlemen
[02:47]Shall give the babe his name?”
[02:51]“Oh, father, if I go with child
[02:55]This much to you I'll tell
[02:57]There's none among your gentlemen
[03:00]That I would treat so well”
[03:02]“And, father, if I go with child
[03:05]I must bear the blame
[03:07]There's none among your gentlemen
[03:10]Shall give the babe his name”
[03:14]She's let the seam fall at her hell
[03:18]The needle to her toe
[03:20]And she has gone to Carterhaugh
[03:23]As fast as she could go
[03:25]And she is down among the weeds
[03:28]Down among the thorn
[03:30]When then appeared Tamlin again
[03:33]Says, “Lady, pull no more”
[03:35]“What makes you pull the poison rose?
[03:38]What makes you break the tree?
[03:40]What makes you harm the little babe
[03:43]That I have got with thee?”
[03:45]“Oh I will pull the rose, Tamlin
[03:48]I will break the tree
[03:51]But I'll not bear the little babe
[03:54]That you have got with me”
[03:56]“If he were to a gentleman
[03:59]And not a wild shade
[04:01]I'd rock him all the winter's night
[04:04]And all the summer's day”
[04:25]“Then take me back into your arms
[04:29]If you my love would win
[04:32]And hold me tight and fear me not
[04:35]I'll be a gentleman”
[04:37]“But first I'll change all in your arms
[04:40]Into a wild wolf
[04:42]But hold me tight and fear me not
[04:45]I am your own true love”
[04:48]“And then I'll change all in your arms
[04:50]Into a wild bear
[04:52]But hold me tight and fear me not
[04:56]I am your husband dear”
[04:58]“And then I'll change all in your arms
[05:01]Into a lion bold
[05:03]But hold me tight and fear me not
[05:05]And you will love your child”
[05:09]At first he changed all in her arms
[05:13]Into a wild wolf
[05:16]She held him tight and feared him not
[05:19]He was her own true love
[05:21]And then he changed all in her arms
[05:24]Into a wild bear
[05:26]She held him tight and feared him not
[05:29]He was her husband dear
[05:31]And then he changed all in her arms
[05:34]Into a lion bold
[05:36]She held him tight and feared him not
[05:39]The father of her child
[05:44]And then he changed all in her arms
[05:47]Into a naked man
[05:50]She's wrapped him in her coat so warm
[05:53]And she has brought him home
