Answer
"I
forbid
you
maidens
all
that
wear
gold
in
your
hair
To
travel
to
Carterhaugh
for
young
Tam
Lin
is
there
None
that
go
by
Carterhaugh
but
they
leave
him
a
pledge
Either
their
mantles
of
green
or
else
their
maidenhead"
Janet
tied
her
kirtle
green
a
bit
above
her
knee
And
she's
gone
to
Carterhaugh
as
fast
as
go
can
she
She'd
not
pulled
a
double
rose,
a
rose
but
only
two
When
up
then
came
young
Tam
Lin
says
"Lady,
pull
no
more"
"And
why
come
you
to
Carterhaugh
without
command
from
me?"
"I'll
come
and
go",
young
Janet
said,
"and
ask
no
leave
of
thee"
Janet
tied
her
kirtle
green
a
bit
above
her
knee
And
she's
gone
to
her
father
as
fast
as
go
can
she
Well,
up
then
spoke
her
father
dear
and
he
spoke
meek
and
mild
"Oh,
and
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
hall
shall
get
the
baby's
name
For
if
my
love
were
an
earthly
knight
as
he
is
an
elfin
grey
I'd
not
change
my
own
true
love
for
any
knight
you
have"
Janet
tied
her
kirtle
green
a
bit
above
her
knee
And
she's
gone
to
Carterhaugh
as
fast
as
go
can
she
"Oh,
tell
to
me,
Tam
Lin,"
she
said,
"why
came
you
here
to
dwell?"
"The
Queen
of
Faeries
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
and
feared
it
be
myself
But
tonight
is
Hallowe'en
and
the
faery
folk
ride
Those
that
would
their
true
love
win
at
Miles
Cross
they
must
bide
So
first
let
past
the
horses
black
and
then
let
past
the
brown
Quickly
run
to
the
white
steed
and
pull
the
rider
down
For
I'll
ride
on
the
white
steed,
the
nearest
to
the
town
For
I
was
an
earthly
knight,
they
give
me
that
renown
Oh,
they
will
turn
me
in
your
arms
to
a
newt
or
a
snake
But
hold
me
tight
and
fear
not,
I
am
your
baby's
father
And
they
will
turn
me
in
your
arms
into
a
lion
bold
But
hold
me
tight
and
fear
not
and
you
will
love
your
child
And
they
will
turn
me
in
your
arms
into
a
naked
knight
But
cloak
me
in
your
mantle
and
keep
me
out
of
sight"
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
Faery
Queen,
an
angry
queen
was
she
Woe
betide
her
ill-fought
face,
an
ill
death
may
she
die
"Oh,
had
I
known,
Tam
Lin,"
she
said,
"what
this
knight
I
did
see
I'd
have
looked
him
in
the
eyes
and
turned
him
to
a
tree."
