dick miles - tam linn كلمات أغنية

fair margaret ran in her merry green wood
and pulled a flower from one
and up did step young tam linn
saying, margaret, leave it alone!

how dare you pull that flower margaret!
how dare you break my tree!
how dare you run in this green wood!
without the leave of me

oh, this green wood, it is my own
my father gave it me
and i can run and play in here
without the leave of thee

he took her by the milk_white hand
and by the grass_green sleeve
and he’s laid her low down on the ground
and he’s asked of her no leave

and when he’s had his will of her
fair margaret, she felt shame
saying, now, you’ve had your will of me
pray tell to me your name

oh, tam linn is the name, he said
the elf queen gave to me
and it’s long i’ve run in these green woods
all for your fair body
when i was a boy, just aged of nine
my uncle sent for me
to hunt the hawk and ride with him
and keep him company

but drowsy, drowsy as i was
dead sleep upon me fell
o, the queen of elfin she rode by
and took me for herself

tonight it is good halloween
the elfin court will ride
and they that would their true loves win
at the crossroads they must hide

the second court that comes along
is clad in robes of green
oh, it is the head court of them all
and in it rides their queen

and i do ride beside the queen
with a gold star in my crown
and you must take me in your arms
and hold me to the ground

then i will turn in your two arms
to a wolf and to an adder
but hold me fast in every shape
to be your baby’s father
she’s took her petticoats in her hand
her mantle in her arm
and it’s straight to the crossroads she’s away
as fast as she could run

the first court it came riding by
she heard the bridal’s ring
and the second court all clad in green
and tam linn like a king

she’s pulled him from his milk_white steed
and on the ground he lay
oh, the elfin queen gave a shrieking cry
young tam linn’s away, me boys, young tam linn’s away

then they turned him in her arms to start
to a wolf and to an adder
but she held him fast in every shape
to be her baby’s father

then they turned him in
her arms at last, to a mother naked man
oh, she wrapped him in her mantle green
and so her true love won

out then cried the elfin queen
and an angry woman was she
say, you’ve taken away the fairest knight
in all my company
oh, had i known, tam linn, she said
what now this night i see?
oh, i would have burned out your two grey eyes
and put in two from a tree, tam linn
and put in two from a tree!
