The Music of Tam Lin

Tam Lin was originally a ballad, so of course there are lyrical versions of it... and even versions without lyrics, because everybody loves a reel. These are listings of some popular (and some totally unknown) recorded versions of the ballad. In cases where I can find the lyrics, I make them available.

That's a very small listing, because I'm still in the process of finding more bands, albums, and lyrics.
