What gar's ye pu' the rose Janet What gars ye break the tree I'll come and go by carter haugh And ask me leave of thee. He's ta'en her by the milk white hand And by the gra*s green sleeve He's ta'en her by the milk white hand And by the gra*s green sleeve He's ta'en her by the milk white hand And by the gra*s green sleeve And by the gra*s green sleeve He's led her to the fairy ground And spierd at her nae leave He's led her to the fairy ground And spierd at her nae leave He's led her to the fairy ground And spierd at her nae leave He's led her to the fairy ground A word I winna lie Janet The truth to thee I'll tell My father was a noble knight And loved hunting well And on a cold and frosty day Down from my horse I fell And on a cold and frosty day Down from my horse I fell ENGLISH TRANSLATION And on a cold and frosty day Down from my horse I fell Down from my horse I fell The queen of fairies she caught me In yon green hill to dwell The queen of fairies she caught me In yon green hill to dwell The queen of fairies she caught me In yon green hill to dwell The queen of fairies she caught me And at the end of seven years We pay a tiend to hell I am sae fair and fu'of flesh I'm feared it be myself This night is Hallwe'en Janet When fairy folk moun ride This night is Hallwe'en Janet When fairy folk moun ride This night is Hallwe'en Janet When fairy fold moun ride When fairy fold moun ride And they that would their truelove win At miles cross they must bide And they that would their truelove win At miles cross they must bide And they that would their truelove win At miles cross they must bide So gloomy gloomy was the night And eiry was the way As Janet in her mantle green To miles Cross she did gae And then upspke the Fairy Queen Tam Lin if I had know I would have pulled out both your eyes To give you eyes of stone
