[00:00.000] 作词 : Traditional [00:01.000] 作曲 : Traditional [00:10.010] “I forbid you maidens all that wear gold in your hair [00:16.300]To travel to Carter Hall for young Tam Lin is there [00:25.500]None that go by Carter Hall but they leave him a pledge [00:31.500]Either their mantles of green or else their maidenhead" [00:40.900]Janet tied her kirtle green a bit above her knee [00:47.500]And she's gone to Carter Hall as fast as go can she [00:56.000]She'd not pulled a double rose, a rose but only two [01:02.490]When up there came young Tam Lin says "Lady, pull no more" [01:11.490]"And why come you to Carter Hall without command from me?" [01:18.490]"I'll come and go", young Janet said, "and ask no leave of thee" [01:55.490]Janet tied her kirtle green a bit above her knee [02:02.090]And she's gone to her father as fast as go can she [02:10.490]Well, up then spoke her father dear and he spoke meek and mild [02:17.290]"Oh, and alas, Janet," he said, "I think you go with child" [02:25.190]"Well, if that be so," Janet said, "myself shall bear the blame [02:33.090]There's not a knight in all your hall shall get the baby's name [02:41.190]For if my love were an earthly knight as he is an elfin grey [02:48.490]I'd not change my own true love for any knight you have" [03:19.490]Janet tied her kirtle green a bit above her knee [03:26.090]And she's gone to Carter Hall as fast as go can she [03:34.190]"Oh, tell to me, Tam Lin," she said, "why came you here to dwell?" [03:41.390]"The Queen of Faeries caught me when from my horse I fell [03:50.000]And at the end of seven years she pays a tithe to hell [03:57.490]I so fair and full of flesh and feared it be myself [04:06.490]But tonight is Hallowe'en and the faery folk ride [04:12.490]Those that would their true love win at Miles Cross they must buy [04:21.490]So first let past the horses black and then let past the brown [04:28.090]Quickly run to the white steed and pull the rider down [04:36.490]For I'll ride on the white steed, the nearest to the town [04:43.090]For I was an earthly knight, they give me that renown [04:51.490]Oh, they will turn me in your arms to a newt or a snake [04:58.090]But hold me tight and fear not, I am your baby's father [05:07.290]And they will turn me in your arms into a lion bold [05:14.490]But hold me tight and fear not and you will love your child [05:23.090]And they will turn me in your arms into a naked knight [05:31.490]But cloak me in your mantle and keep me out of sight" [06:07.490]In the middle of the night she heard the bridle ring [06:14.290]She heeded what he did say and young Tam Lin did win [06:22.490]Then up spoke the Faery Queen, an angry queen was she [06:29.490]Woe betide her ?ill-fought? face, an ill death may she die [06:37.490]"Oh, had I known, Tam Lin," she said, "what this knight I did see [06:44.490]I have looked him in the eyes and turned him to a tree"
