Luyện nghe bài hát Tam Lin

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

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

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

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

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

"And why come you to Carterhaugh command from me? "
"I'll come and go", Janet said, "and ask no leave of thee"

Janet tied her kirtle 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 shall bear the
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
I'd not change my own love for any knight you have"

So Janet her kirtle green a bit above her knee
And she's to Carterhaugh 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 horse I

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

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

So let pass the horses black 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 knight, they give me that renown

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

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

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

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

Then up spoke the fairy queen, an angry 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 looked him in the eyes and turned him to a tree"
