[00:19.77]The trees, they grow high and the leaves, they do grow green
[00:25.78]Many is the time my true love I've seen
[00:32.44]Many an hour I watched him all alone
[00:38.72]He's young but he's daily growing
[00:45.69]Father, dear father, you've done me great wrong
[00:51.64]You have married me to a boy who is too young
[00:58.29]I am twice twelve and he is but fourteen
[01:04.82]He's young but he's daily growing
[01:11.36]Daughter, dear daughter, I've done you no wrong
[01:17.82]I have married you to a great Lord's son
[01:24.23]And he will be a man for you when I am dead and gone
[01:30.75]He's young but he's daily growing
[01:47.11]Father, dear father, if you see fit
[01:53.26]We'll send him to college for another year yet
[01:59.97]I'll tie a blue ribbon all around his head
[02:06.25]To let the maidens know that he is married
[02:12.78]One day I was looking over my father's castle wall
[02:19.19]I spied all the boys playing with a ball
[02:25.83]And my own true love, he was the flower of them all
[02:32.24]He's young but he's daily growing
[02:48.08]And so early in the morning at the dawning of the day
[02:54.94]They went into a hayfield for to have some sport and play
[03:02.00]And what they did there she never would declare
[03:07.92]But she never more complained of his growing
[03:15.25]At the age of fourteen he was a married man
[03:21.05]At the age of fifteen, the father of my son
[03:28.00]At the age of sixteen, his grave, it was green
[03:34.46]And death had put an end to his growing
[03:40.99]I'll buy my love some flannel, I'll make my love a shroud
[03:47.15]And every stitch I put in it, the tears, they'll pour down
[03:53.93]And every stitch I put in it, how the tears, they will flow
[04:00.26]Cruel fate has put an end to his growing
