Dm
Janet sits in her lonely room
F
Sewing a silken seam
C
And looking out on Carterhaugh
Bb Am
Among the roses green
Dm
And Janet sits in her lonely bower
F
Sewing a silken thread
C
And longed to be in Carterhaugh
Bb Am
Among the roses red
D
She's let the seam fall at her heel
F
The needle to her toe
F
And she has gone to Carterhaugh
Bb Am
As fast as she can go
D
She hadn't pulled a rose, a rose
F
A rose, but only one
C
When then appeared him, young Tamlin
Bb Am
Says, 'Lady, let alone
D
'What makes you pull the rose, the rose?
F
What makes you break the tree?
C
What makes you come to Carterhaugh
Bb Am
Without the leave of me?
D
'But Carterhaugh is not your own
F
Roses there are many
C
I'll come and go all as I please
Bb Am
And not ask leave of any
D
And he has took her by the hand
F
Took her by the sleeve
C
And he has laid this lady down
Bb Am
Among the roses green
D
And he has took her by the arm
F
Took her by the hem
C
And he has laid this lady down
Bb Am
Among the roses red
D
There's four and twenty ladies fair
F
Sewing at the silk
F
And Janet goes among them all
Bb Am
Her face as pale as milk
D
And four and twenty gentlemen
F
Playing at the chess
C
And Janet goes among them all
Bb Am
As green as any glass
D
Then up and spoke her father
F
He's spoken meek and mild
C
'Oh, alas, my daughter
Bb Am
I fear you go with child
D
'And is it to a man of might
F
Or to a man of means
C
Or who among my gentlemen
Bb Am
Shall give the babe his name?
D
'Oh, father, if I go with child
F
This much to you I'll tell
C
There's none among your gentlemen
Bb Am
That I would treat so well
D
'And, father, if I go with child
F
I must bear the blame
C
There's none among your gentlemen
Bb Am
Shall give the babe his name
D
She's let the seam fall at her hell
F
The needle to her toe
C
And she has gone to Carterhaugh
Bb Am
As fast as she could go
D
And she is down among the weeds
F
Down among the thorn
C
When then appeared Tamlin again
Bb Am
Says, 'Lady, pull no more
D
'What makes you pull the poison rose?
F
What makes you break the tree?
C
What makes you harm the little babe
Bb Am
That I have got with thee?
D
'Oh I will pull the rose, Tamlin
F
I will break the tree
C
But I'll not bear the little babe
Bb Am
That you have got with me
D
'If he were to a gentleman
F
And not a wild shade
C
I'd rock him all the winter's night
Bb Am
And all the summer's day"
D
'Then take me back into your arms
F
If you my love would win
C
And hold me tight and fear me not
Bb Am
*I'll be a gentleman
D
'But first I'll change all in your arms
F
Into a wild wolf
C
But hold me tight and fear me not
Bb Am
I am your own true love
D
'And then I'll change all in your arms
F
Into a wild bear
C
But hold me tight and fear me not
Bb Am
I am your husband dear
D
'And then I'll change all in your arms
F
Into a lion bold
C
But hold me tight and fear me not
Bb Am
And you will love your child
D
At first he changed all in her arms
F
Into a wild wolf
C
She held him tight and feared him not
Bb Am
He was her own true love
D
And then he changed all in her arms
F
Into a wild bear
C
She held him tight and feared him not
Bb Am
He was her husband dear
D
And then he changed all in her arms
F
Into a lion bold
C
She held him tight and feared him not
Bb Am
The father of her child
D
And then he changed all in her arms
F
Into a naked man
C
She's wrapped him in her coat so warm
Bb Am
And she has brought him home
