| [00:07.83] |
Trees, they grow high and the leaves they do grow green |
| [00:13.78] |
Many is the time my true love I've seen |
| [00:18.78] |
Many an hour I have watched him all alone |
| [00:23.13] |
He's young but he's daily growing |
| [00:34.84] |
Father, dear, father you've done me great wrong |
| [00:39.78] |
You've married me to a boy who is too young |
| [00:45.29] |
I'm twice twelve and he is but fourteen |
| [00:49.81] |
He's young but he's daily growing |
| [01:01.58] |
Daughter, dear daughter, I've done you no wrong |
| [01:06.72] |
I have married you to a great lord's son |
| [01:11.76] |
He'll make a lord for you to wait upon |
| [01:16.25] |
He's young but he's daily growing |
| [01:27.92] |
Father, dear father, if you see fit |
| [01:32.47] |
We'll send him to college for one year yet |
| [01:37.41] |
I'll tie blue ribbons all around his head |
| [01:42.95] |
To let the maidens know that he's married |
| [01:56.27] |
One day, I was looking o'er my father's castle wall |
| [02:01.43] |
I spied all the boys a-playing with the ball |
| [02:06.57] |
My own true love was the flower of them all |
| [02:11.85] |
He's young but he's daily growing |
| [02:21.48] |
At the age of fourteen, he was a married man |
| [02:27.27] |
At the age of fifteen, the father of a son |
| [02:32.59] |
At the age of sixteen, his grave it was green |
| [02:39.98] |
And death had put an end to his growing |
