Maids may go by Carter Hall, but they leave him a pledge Either their mantels of green or else their maidenhead. Janet tied her kerf of green a bit above her knee And she's gone to Carter Hall as fast as go can she. She doth pull the double rose, a rose but only two And up then came young Tam Lin, says lady pull no more. And why come you to Carter Hall without command from me I can go, young Janet said, and ask no leave of thee. Janet tied her kerf of green a little bit above her knee And she's gone to her father as fast as go can she. Well then spoke her father dear, and he spoke meek and mild Well alas Janet, he said, I think you go with child. Well if that be so, Janet said, myself shall bear the blame There's not a knight in all your halls shall get the baby's name. For if my lover were not a knight, as he is an earthen brae I'll not change my own true love for any knight you have. Janet tied her kerf of green a bit above her knee And she's gone to Carter Hall as fast as go can she. Oh tell to me Tam Lin she said, why came you here to dwell The Queen of Fairy's caught me when from my horse I fell. And at the end of seven years she pays a tithe to hell I so fair and full of flesh am feared it is myself. But tonight is Halloween and the fairy is full bride Those that would their true love win, hard miles crossed they must fly. First that pass, the horse is black and let them past the ground then run to the white steed and pull the rider down. For I ride on the white steed, the nearest to the town For I was an earthly knight, they give me that renown. They will turn me in your arms to a knute or a snake Hold me tight and fear not, I am your baby's father. And they will turn me in your arms into a lion bold Hold me tight and fear not and you will love your child. And they will turn me in your arms into a naked knight Cloak me in your mantel and keep me out of sight. And in the middle of the night she heard the bridle ring She heeded what he did say and young Tam Lin did win. Then up spoke the fairy queen, an angry queen was she Who betide her ill far place, an ill that may she die. Oh had I known Tam Lin, she said, what this night I did see I'd have looked him in the eye and turned him to a tree. also see TAMLIN1 Child #39 @magic @ballad @courtship filename[ TAMLIN2 play.exe TAMLIN2 DC ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Tea Shanty, Ted Kennedy Song, Teddy Bears Picnic, Tee Roo, Tell Poor Lou Im Gone Nigger Lou, Telling Takes Me Home, Ten Oclock And All Is Well, Ten Thousand Cattle, Ten Thousand Goddam Cattle, Ten Thousand Miles, Tenderfoot, Tennessee Stud, Tenpound Radio, Tenting Tonight On The Old Campground, Terror Time, Test Of Time, TFfe Kule GuttegaeRne Jenter, Thais, That Crazy War, Thats Why We Praise Him, Thats What I want, Thats All, Thats The Ticket, Thats What You Get For Loving Me, The Ants Go Marching, The Candy Man, The Fields Of Athenry, The First Noel, The Girl From Ipanema Garota De Ipanema, The Grinch Song, The Little Drummer Boy, The Monkeys Disgrace, The Nails On Your Hands, The Pitch, The Record Company Bash, The Story Of The Rose Heart Of My Heart, Their Brains Were Small And They Died, Their Way, There Are No Flies On Us, There But For Fortune, There Is A Happy Land, There Is A Tavern In Town, There Is Power, There Were Roses, Therell Be A Hot Time, Therell Be A Hot Time, Therell Be No Distinction There, Theres Many A Man Been Murdered In Luzon, Theres Nae Luck About House, These Are My Mountains, Other Unknown song Lyrics 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall Lyrics A Bird in a Gilded Cage Lyrics A Fenian Song Lyrics A Fool Such As I Lyrics A Friend Like You Lyrics A Hero of the Wrong War Lyrics A Horse Named Bill Lyrics A Hundred Years from Now Lyrics A Kangaroo Sat on an Oak Lyrics A Little Bit of Solitude Lyrics A Living Wage Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Unknown Prophets Lyrics Unleashed Lyrics Unleashed Power Lyrics Unlimited Nation Lyrics Unlimited Sound Lyrics UNLOCO Lyrics Unlord Lyrics UNLV Lyrics Unni Wilhelmsen Lyrics Uno Svenningsson Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
