Luyện nghe bài hát Tam Lin

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

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

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

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

not pulled 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 without command me? "
"I'll and go", young Janet said, "and ask no leave of thee"

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

Well, up then spoke her 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 bear the blame
There's not a knight in all hall shall get the baby's name

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

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

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

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

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

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

For I'll ride on the steed, the nearest to the town
For I was an knight, they give me that renown

Oh, they turn 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 arms into a lion bold
But hold me tight and not and you will love your child

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

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

Then up spoke the 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"
