lyrics

The trees they do grow high and the leaves they do grow green
it’s many a cold winter’s night my love and I have seen
on a cold winter’s night, my love, you and I alone have been.
Oh my bonny boy is young, but he’s growing.
Oh father, dear father, you’ve done to me much harm,
to go and get me married to one who is so young
for he is only fifteen years and I am twenty-one
Oh my bonny boy is young, but he’s growing.
Growing, growing, my bonny boy is young but he’s growing.
Oh daughter, dear daughter, I'll tell you what I'll do,
I'll send your love to college for another year or two.
And all around his college cap I'll tie a ribbon blue,
to let the ladies know that he's married.
Married, married, to let the ladies know that he's married.
Now at the age of sixteen he was a married man,
And at the age of seventeen a father to a son,
And at the age of eighteen the grass grew over him.
Cruel death soon put an end to his growing,
Growing, growing, cruel death soon put an end to his growing.
And now my love is dead and in his grave doth lie,
The green grass grows over him so very very high.
I will sit and mourn his death until the day I die
And I'll watch all over his child while he's growing,
Growing, growing, I'll watch all over his child while he's growing.
