Tam Lin
Oh I forbid you, maidens a' that wear gowd on your hair to come or gae by Carterhaugh for young Tam Lin is there
Janet has kilted her green kirtle a little bit aboon her knee and she has broded her yellow hair a little aboon her bree
O tell me, please, Tam Lin she says how did you come here to the fee why did you live in Caterhaugh why are you not to be free
The Queen o Fairies she caught me in yonder green hill to dwell and pleasant is the fairy land but an eerie tale to tell
But the night is Halloween, lady the morning that is Hallowday then win me, win me, an ye will for weel I wat ye may
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com About the middle of the night she heard so clear the bridles ring this lady was as glad at that as any earthly thing
At first she let the black pass by and syne she also let the brown but quickly she ran to the milk-white steed and pu'd the rider down.
They'll turn the arms of Tam Lin quick to an adder and a snake she hold him fast, don't let him gae to be a warldly mate
And last they truly turned his arms into the crackling burning gleed she throw him into well water she throw him in with speed Out then the Queen o Fairies spak out of a blooming bush o broom them that has gotten young Tam Lin has gotten a stately groom
