Tonight’s the night of Halloween, and the fairy court will ride; And she that would her true love win at Miles Cross must bide.
Happy Halloween (or Hallowe’en, depending on your spelling preference)!

This version of Tam Lin is performed by Tricky Pixie, aka S.J. Tucker, Alexander James Adams, and Betsy Tinney. Lyrics are available on bandcamp.
