To come or go by Carterhaugh,

For young Tam Lin is there.

B F BC

Janet has kilted her green kirtle
A little above her knee,
and she has gone to Carterhaugh
as fast as she could flee

She's come to the roses growing wild
she's pulled a single one
when young fair lad appears
and says 'O, lady, let alone!

'How dare you pull my roses out,
How dare you break my tree
How dare you run in these green woods
Without asking leave of me?'

Says Janet proudly 'this wood's my own
My father gave it me
And I can pluck myself a rose
Without asking leave of thee.'

With a smile he takes her hand
and color rises to her skin
She looks the young man in his eyes
and knows him now for young Tam Lin

B C

So many days they spend walking
Among the green sweet hills
But never he tried to visit her hall
Or ask her to stay with him

One day old father came to Janet
When she was in her chamber
My beloved daughter open your heart
And chose the one to be your husband

But fair Janet went pale and sad
I’ve made my chose for long
I would not give my own true-love
For any of your lords

The steed that my true love rides on
Is lighter than the wind,
With silver he is shod before,
With burning gold behind.

Janet has kilted her green kirtle
A little above her knee,
and she has gone to Carterhaugh
as fast as she could flee

Janet asks 'Tam Lin, my dear,
why is it in these woods you hide?'
'The queen of faeries stole me hence,
alas, when I was but a child.
'My lordly sire was a skillful man
and hunting he loved well
but I was prey for the faerie Queen
when from my horse I fell.

But you, my Love, can get me back
If this is what you want
And I will come to your fathers hall
To be your one true love

Tonight's the night of Halloween,
and the fairy court will ride;
And she that would her true love win
at Miles Cross must bide.

'First let pass the horses black
then let pass the brown
Run ye to the milk white steed
and pull that rider down.

'They will change me in your arms
into a deadly adder
but hold me fast and fear me not
I’ll be your baby's father

'They will change me in your arms
into a bear or lion bold
but hold me fast and fear me not
I’ll be your faithful husband.

'At last they'll change me in your arms
into a naked knight.
Then cast your mantle over me
and keep me out of sight.'

Gloomy, gloomy, was the night,
And eery was the way,
As Janet in her mantle green
To Miles Cross did hie.

The heavens dressed in baleful black
and all was silent as the grave,
But Janet waited in the dark
Her own true love to save.

Betwixt the hour of twelve and one,
the north wind blew and tore and rent
she heard the elfin bridles ring
upon the wind where e'er it went

Janet stood, with mind unmoved,
The gloomy heath upon,
And louder, louder rang the bells,
As the fairy court came riding on.

And first rode by the night black steeds
and then went by the brown;
then up she ran to the charger pale
and pulled her lover down.

They changed him in her arms to all
the beasts and flames and hateful things,
but she did all that her lover bade
and young Tam Lin she won.

Up then spoke the Faery Queen
An angry queen was she.
Oh, this earthly girl has stolen away
the best knight of Our company.

'Had I but known, Tam-Lin, she said
What defeat this night I'd see
I'd've stolen both thine eyes
and changed thee fast into a tree.

'Had I but known, Tam-lin, she said
before we left this night to roam,
I'd've et thy heart of flesh
and left thee with a heart of stone!'

Janet has kilted her green kirtle
A little above her knee,
and they had gone to Carterhaugh
as fast as she love could flee
