Modern retelling

[garran]

Tam Lin
You don't have to go with the hell-tithe
Those laws have loopholes,
You don't have to cast your soul into the night

Tam Lin,
You don't have to die without a fight
Riding with the fair folk
You're aware how they use their earthly knights

Tam Lin, you don't have to go with the hell-tithe
Tam Lin, you don't have to go with the hell-tithe

Go with the hell-tithe...

You saw me picking roses
We both of us made choices
And now we're come to another choice
I don't care what kind of queen she is

I know I want to save you
No matter what you change to
Held you once, I can hold you again
It's your baby

Tam Lin, you don't have to go with the hell-tithe,
Tam Lin, you don't have to go with the hell-tithe.

Go with the hell-tithe! (to fade)

Slightly more substantial comment, as I told you in chat: this is almost certainly the geekiest filk ever written. It's awesome.

I think you underestimate the SF filking community. ^^
