The Trees They Do Grow High
Trees they grow high and the leaves they do grow green Many is the time my true love I seen Many an hour I've watched him all alone He's young but he's daily growing
Father, dear Father, You've done me great wrong You've married me to a boy who is too young I am twice twelve and he is but fourteen He's young but he's daily growing
Daughter, dear Daughter, I've done you no wrong I've married you to a brave lord's son He'll be a man to you when I am dead and gone He's young but he's daily growing
Father, dear Father, If you see fit Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 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 Saw'r all the boys a playin' with a ball My own true love was the flower of them all He's young but he's daily growing
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 growing
I'll make my love a shroud of holland so fine Every stitch I put in it the tears come trickling down Once I had a true love but now I've ne'er one But I'll watch o'er his son while he's growing...
