The Trees, They Do Grow High |
The trees they grow high |
The leaves they do grow green |
Many is the time my true love I’ve seen |
Many an hour I have watched him all alone |
He’s young |
But he’s daily growing |
Father, dear father |
You’ve done me great wrong |
You have married me to a boy who is too young |
I’m 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 have married you to a great lord’s son |
He’ll make a lord for you to wait upon |
He’s young |
But he’s daily growing |
Father, dear father, if you see fit |
We’ll send him to college for one year yet |
I’ll tie blue ribbons all around his head |
To let the maidens know that he’s married |
One day I was looking o’er my father’s castle wall |
I spied all the boys as playing with the 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 |
At the age of fifteen, the father of a son |
At the age of sixteen, his grave it was green |
And death had put an end to his growing |
