[Am] _ _ [D] Janet sits in her lonely [F] room, sewing a silken [C] seam,
looking out on Carter Hall [Bb] among the [C] roses green.
[D] Janet sits in her lonely [F] bower, sewing a silken thread,
and [C] long to be in Carter Hall _ [Am] among the roses [Dm] red. _
_ _ She's let the seam fall out of [F] heel, the needle to her toe,
[C] and she has gone to Carter [Bb] Hall as fast [C] as she can go.
[Dm] She hadn't pulled a rose, a rose, [F] a rose, but only one,
[C] and then appeared him, young [Bb] Tamlin, says, [C] Lady, let alone.
[Dm] What makes you pull a rose, a [F] rose?
What makes you break the tree?
[C] What makes you come to Carter [Bb] Hall [Am] without the leave of [Dm] me? _ _ _
But Carter Hall is not your [F] own roses, there are many.
[C] I'll come and go all as I please, [Bb] and not ask [Am] leave of any.
[Bb] And he has took [E] her by the [Dm] hand, took her by the sleeve,
[G] and he has laid this lady [Dm] down among the roses green.
And [Bb] he has took her [E] by the [D] arm, took her by the hand,
_ [C] and he has laid this lady down [Bb] _ [Am] among the roses [D] _ red.

[Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ [D] There's four and twenty ladies fair, [F] sewing out the silk, _
[Cm] and Janet goes among them all, [Bb] her face [C] is pale as [D] milk,
and four and twenty [F] gentlemen playing out the chess,
_ [C] and Janet goes among them [Bb] all, as [C] green as any [Dm] glass.
Nothing spoke her father, [C] _ [F]
he spoke in meek and [C] mild,
O alas, my daughter, [Bb] _ I [C] fear you go with [Dm] child,
and is it to a man of [F] might, or to a man of means,
[C] or who among my gentlemen [Bb] _
shall [F] give the babe his [Dm] name? _ _
O father, if I go with [F] child, this much to [C] you I tell,
that is none among your gentlemen [Bb] that I [C] would treat so [Dm] well,
and father, if I go [F] with child, I must bear the blame,
[C] that is none among your gentlemen [Bb] _
shall [A] give the babe his [D] name.
[Dm] _ _
She's let the [G] seam fall at her [F] heel, and neatly to her toe,
[C] and she has garnered a carter [Bb] haul, as [F] fast as she can [C] go.
[D] And she is down among the [F] weeds, down among the thorn,
[C] and then appeared tumbling [Bb] again, says the [Am] lady, pull no more,
[Dm] what makes you pull the poison [F] rose?
What makes you break the [C] tree?
What makes you harm the little babe [Bb] that I have [C] got with me?
[Dm] O I will pull the rose [F] tamlin, I will break the [C] tree,
but I'll not bear the little babe [Bb] that [C] you have got with [Dm] me.
If you were to a [F] gentleman, not a wild shave,
[C] I'd rock him all the winter's night, [Bb] and all the [A] _ [D] summer's day. _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bbm] _ _ _ [Am] _ [D] Then take me back into your [F] arms, if you my love would win,
[C] but hold me tight and fear me [Bb] not, I'll [Am] be a gentleman.
[Bb] But first I'll change all in your [Dm] arms into a wild [C] wolf,
but hold me tight and fear me not, [Dm] I am your own [D] true [Bb] love,
and then I'll change [D] all in your [Dm] arms into a wild [C] bear,
but hold me tight and fear me not, [Dm] I am your husband, [Bb] dear,
and then I'll change all in your [D] arms into a lion [C] boar,
but hold me tight and fear me not, [Bb] and you will love [Am] your child.
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _
At first he changed all in her [F] arms into a wild wolf,
[G] she held him tight and feared him [Bb] not, he was [C] her own true [Dm] love,
and then he changed all in her [F] arms into a wild bear,
[C] she held him tight and feared him [Bb] not, he [C] was her husband, dear,
[Dm] and then he changed all in [F] her arms into a lion [C] boar,
she held him tight and feared him not, [Bb] the father [Am] of her child.
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ And then he changed all in her [F] arms into a naked [C] man,
she's wrapped him in her coat so warm, [Bb] and [F] she's brought him [D] home. _
