Lyrics
The trees they grow high, and the leaves they do grow green Many is the time my true love I've seen Many an hour I've watched him all alone He's young, but he's daily growin' Father, dear father, you've done me great wrong You've married me to a boy who is too young I'm twice twelve, and he is but fourteen He's young, but he's daily growin' Daughter, dear daughter, I've done you no wrong I've married you to a great lord's son He'll be a man to you when I am dead and gone He's young, but he's daily growin' Father, dear father, if you see fit We'll send my love to college for another year yet Tie blue ribbons all around his head To let the ladies know that he's married One day I was looking o'er my father's castle wall I saw all the boys a-playing at the ball My own true love was the flower of them all He's young, but he's daily growin' At the age of fourteen he was a married man Age of fifteen, the father of a son Age of sixteen, on his grave the grass was green Cruel death had put an end to his growin'
