Janet Dmsits in her lonely room
FSewing a silken seam
CAnd looking out on Carterhaugh
BbAmong the Amroses greDen
DmAnd Janet sits in her lonely bower
FSewing a silken thread
CAnd longed to be in Carterhaugh
BbAmong the Amroses redD
DShe's let the seam fall at her heel
FThe needle to her toe
FAnd she has gone to Carterhaugh
BbAs fast asAm she can Dgo
DShe hadn't pulled a rose, a rose
FA rose, but only one
CWhen then appeared him, young Tamlin
BbSays, 'LadAmy, let alDone
D'What makes you pull the rose, the rose?
FWhat makes you break the tree?
CWhat makes you come to Carterhaugh
BbWithout thAme leave oDf me?
D'But Carterhaugh is not your own
FRoses there are many
CI'll come and go all as I please
BbAnd not asAmk leave oDf any
DAnd he has took her by the hand
FTook her by the sleeve
CAnd he has laid this lady down
BbAmong the Amroses greDen
DAnd he has took her by the arm
FTook her by the hem
CAnd he has laid this lady down
BbAmong the Amroses redD
DThere's four and twenty ladies fair
FSewing at the silk
FAnd Janet goes among them all
BbHer face aAms pale asD milk
DAnd four and twenty gentlemen
FPlaying at the chess
CAnd Janet goes among them all
BbAs green aAms any glaDss
DThen up and spoke her father
FHe's spoken meek and mild
C'Oh, alas, my daughter
BbI fear youAm go with Dchild
D'And is it to a man of might
FOr to a man of means
COr who among my gentlemen
BbShall giveAm the babeD his name?
D'Oh, father, if I go with child
FThis much to you I'll tell
CThere's none among your gentlemen
BbThat I wouAmld treat Dso well
D'And, father, if I go with child
FI must bear the blame
CThere's none among your gentlemen
BbShall giveAm the babeD his name
DShe's let the seam fall at her hell
FThe needle to her toe
CAnd she has gone to Carterhaugh
BbAs fast asAm she coulDd go
DAnd she is down among the weeds
FDown among the thorn
CWhen then appeared Tamlin again
BbSays, 'LadAmy, pull nDo more
D'What makes you pull the poison rose?
FWhat makes you break the tree?
CWhat makes you harm the little babe
BbThat I havAme got witDh thee?
D'Oh I will pull the rose, Tamlin
FI will break the tree
CBut I'll not bear the little babe
BbThat you hAmave got wDith me
D'If he were to a gentleman
FAnd not a wild shade
CI'd rock him all the winter's night
BbAnd all thAme summer'Ds day"
D'Then take me back into your arms
FIf you my love would win
CAnd hold me tight and fear me not
Bb*I'll be aAm gentlemaDn
D'But first I'll change all in your arms
FInto a wild wolf
