Luyện nghe bài hát Tam Lin

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Well, up then her father 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 shall get the name

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

So Janet tied her kirtle a bit above 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 a tithe to hell
I so and full of flesh and feared it be myself

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

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

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

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

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

And they will me in your arms into a naked knight
But cloak me in your mantle and 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"
