chords for verses.Rest of lyrics:Janet tied her kirtle green a bit above her kneeAnd she's gone to Cartehaugh 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 fellAnd at the end of seven years she pays a tithe to hellI so fair and full of flesh and feared it be myselfBut tonight is Hallowe'en and the faery folk rideThose that would their true love win at Miles Cross they must buySo first let past the horses black and then let past the brownQuickly run to the white steed and pull the rider downFor I'll ride on the white steed, the nearest to the townFor I was an earthly knight, they give me that renownOh, they will turn me in your arms to a newt or a snakeBut hold me tight and fear not, I am your baby's fatherAnd they will turn me in your arms into a lion boldBut hold me tight and fear not and you will love your childAnd they will turn me in your arms into a naked knightBut cloak me in your mantle and keep me out of sight"In the middle of the night she heard the bridle ringShe heeded what he did say and young Tam Lin did winThen up spoke the Faery Queen, an angry queen was sheWoe betide her ill-fought face, an ill death may she die"Oh, had I known, Tam Lin," she said, "what this knight I did seeI have looked him in the eyes and turned him to a treeOutro:e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
