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 all that wear gold in your hair
To travel to Carterhaugh, for young Tam Lin is

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

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

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

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

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

Well, up then spoke her dear and he spoke 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 were an knight, as he is an elfin grey
I'd not my own true love for any knight you have"

So Janet tied her kirtle green a bit her knee
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 years she pays a tithe to
I so fair and of flesh and feared it be myself

But tonight is Halloween and the folk ride
Those that would let 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 white steed and the rider down

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

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

And will turn me in your arms into a lion bold
But hold me and fear not and you will love 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 night she heard the bridle
She heeded 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 this I did see
I'd have him in the eyes and turned him to a tree"
