Lyrics:
Janet wore a mantel green
And wolf-keen was her will.
Into the forest’s heart she went
while stars shone on the hills.

Janet stay out of those woods
there lives a faery queen
and fairy folk have lured
many men into the green.

Seven years before that night
beneath those very boughs
Janet and Tamlin joined their hands
and spoke their true love vows

But once he rode into the night
when from his horse he fell
the faery queen took him into
her fairy realm to dwell.

‘Neath soil and stone the sidhe folk danced
and drank and sang and cheered.
He was slave and servant there
through days that passed like years.

But every seventh Samhain night
the elven court must ride.
If Janet wanted Tamlin back
deep in the forest she must bide.

Janet let pass the horses black,
let pass the chestnut brown,
but when you see the snow-white steed,
pull that rider down.

He will change in your arms
into beasts so wild
but without fear you must hold close
the father of your child.

When the fairy court rides by
through bramble, thorn and gorse
amid bone-breaking hooves and spears
Janet pulls Tamlin from his horse

He changes in her arms
into a wolf so wild
she holds him tight she fears him not.
The father of her child.

then changes in her arms
into a roaring bear.
She holds him tight she fears him not.
It is her husband dear

But then he changes in her arms
into a glowing coal.
She holds him tight and frees with love
his ensorcelled soul.
