《Tam Lin(Live On ’John Peel’s Top Gear’， 1969)》歌词

[00:00:00] Tam Lin - Fairport Convention (公平港口大会)

[00:00:08] I forbid you maidens all that wear gold in your hair

[00:00:14] To travel to Carter Hall for young Tam Lin is there

[00:00:23] None that go by Carter Hall but they leave him a pledge

[00:00:28] Either their mantles of green or else their maidenhead

[00:00:37] Janet tied her kirtle green a bit above her knee

[00:00:43] And she's gone to Carter Hall as fast as go can she

[00:00:51] She'd not pulled a double rose a rose but only two

[00:00:57] When up there came young Tam Lin says Lady pull no more

[00:01:06] And why come you to Carter Hall without command from me

[00:01:12] I'll come and go young Janet said and ask no leave of thee

[00:01:47] Janet tied her kirtle green a bit above her knee

[00:01:53] And she's gone to her father as fast as go can she

[00:02:01] Well up then spoke her father dear and he spoke meek and mild

[00:02:07] Oh and alas Janet he said I think you go with child

[00:02:16] Well if that be so Janet said myself shall bear the blame

[00:02:22] There's not a knight in all your hall shall get the baby's name

[00:02:31] If my love were an earthly knight as he is an elfin grey

[00:02:36] I'd not change my own true love for any knight you have

[00:03:09] Janet tied her kirtle green a bit above her knee

[00:03:14] And she's gone to Carter Hall as fast as go can she

[00:03:23] Tell to me Tam Lin she said how came you here to dwell

[00:03:29] The Queen of Faeries caught me when from my horse I fell

[00:03:37] And at the end of seven years she pays a tithe to hell

[00:03:44] I so fair and full of flesh and feared it be myself

[00:03:53] But tonight is Hallowe'en and the faery folk ride

[00:03:58] Those that would their true love win at Miles Cross they must buy

[00:04:06] So first let past the horses black and then let past the brown

[00:04:12] Quickly run to the white steed and pull the rider down

[00:04:21] For I'll ride on the white steed the nearest to the town

[00:04:27] For I was an earthly knight they give me that renown

[00:04:35] They will turn me in your arms to a newt or a snake

[00:04:41] But hold me tight and tight fear not I am your baby's father

[00:04:50] And they will turn me in your arms into a lion bold

[00:04:56] But hold me tight and tight

[00:04:58] Fear not and you will love your child

[00:05:04] And they will turn me in your arms into a naked knight

[00:05:10] But cloak me in your mantle and keep me out of sight

[00:05:51] In the middle of the night she heard the bridle ring

[00:05:56] She heeded what he did say and young Tam Lin did win

[00:06:05] Up then spoke the Faery Queen an angry queen was she

[00:06:11] Woe betide her ill-fought face an ill death may she die

[00:06:20] Had I known Tam Lin she said what this knight I did see

[00:06:26] I have looked you in the eyes and turned you to a tree
