- The trees they grow high, the leaves they do grow green
Many is the time my true love Ive seenMany an hour I have watched him all alone Hes young, but hes daily growing Father, dear father, youve done me great wrong You have married me to a boy who is too young Im twice twelve and he is but fourteen Hes young, but hes daily growing Daughter , dear daughter, Ive done you no wrong I have married you to a great lords son Hell be a man to you when I am dead and gone Hes young, but hes daily growing Father, dear father, if you see fit Well send him to college for another year yet Ill tie blue ribbons all around his head To let the maidens know that hes married One day I was looking oer my fathers castle wall I spied all the boys a-playing at the ball My own true love was the flower of them all Hes young, but hes daily growing At the age of fourteen, he was a married man At the age of fifteen, the father of a son At the age of sixteen, on his grave the grass was green Cruel death had put an end to his growing Ill buy my love some flannel and I will make a shroud With every stitch I put in it, the tears they will pour down With every stitch I put in it, how the tears will flow Cruel fate has put an end to his growing
