Tam Lin Lyrics. "I forbid you maidens all that wear gold in your hair. To travel to Carter Hall for young Tam Lin is there. None that go by Carter Hall 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.
Summary. Janet longs to go to Carterhaugh. When she does, she plucks roses and meets Tam Lin. They argue, he takes ahold of her and lays her on the ground. When she returns home, she's pale and green. Her father asks if she is with child, and she replies that no man present is responsible.
