In one version I read, Carterhaugh is actually HER land, promised to her by her father, so she has a motive to check on it. I first heard this ballad (in this lifetime) on Fairport Convention's album, & didn't think much about it until ten or twenty years ago, when I started waking up every October 10 with Tam Lin, "The Bonnie Bunch of Roses Oh," & a varying third tune stuck in my head until Halloween. Every year. I did a Deep Dive. I downloaded Childe & more. It was my FOURTH venture into folk, trad, whatever you call it, the first when I was about nine, the second in the Folk Revival of the Sixties, the third in the late Eighties when I discovered Irish music, and then when Tam Lin started playing on October tenths. I'm currently trying to write a ballad combining John Riley & House Carpenter. We should talk. In the video below I'm the one with all the Face, & in the following one I'm the actual witch. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6PVm4WtaJJshc0si=SLLpn3IIwQtXLNas kzbin.info/www/bejne/mn6zoJx6ppaYr6csi=MS1F_xYxM4LnkQn3 (Missouri)

Yes! I think she claims ownership in a version i narrated too kzbin.info/www/bejne/kITHf5d3gNuenbM That is so interesting about the annual timing of your association with the ballads! Do you have thoughts on the date?

[@MasterPoucksBestMan]

I think I've also heard a version where she is heavily pregnant and rescuing Tam was him being born as her child, who she wraps in her kirtle like a swaddle, which brings in reincarnation and the idea that the fairies are ancestors, and how a death here is a birth in Faerie and vice versa.

[@storybookwitchcraft9087]

What an intriguing version

[@stephe1506]

This seems to be echoed in Scandinavian folk understandings where dead ancestors could/can be considered "elves" and were spoken of as such in plain language, in the minds of people of the past those lines and definitions blur a lot
