Luyện nghe bài hát Tam Lin

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Well, up spoke her father dear 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 the blame
There's not a knight in all your shall get the baby's name

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

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

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

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

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

So first let pass the black and then let pass the brown
run to the white steed and pull the rider down

For ride on the white steed, the nearest to the town
For I was an earthly knight, 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 your father

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

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

In the middle of the night she heard the bridle
She what 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 night I did see
I'd have looked him in the and turned him to a tree"
