The Trees They Do Grow High The trees they do grow high and the leaves they do grow green The time is long past love that you and I have seen It's a cold winter's night you and I must bide alone My bonny lad is young, but he's growing, growing Oh my bonny lad is young, but he's growing 'Oh father, dear father, you've done me much wrong You've married me to a boy and I fear he is too young.' 'Oh daughter, dear daughter, if you stay at home with me Oh a lady you shall be while he's growing, growing Oh a lady you shall be while he's growing' We'll send him off to college all for a year or two Perhaps then, my love, to a man he will grow I'll buy you white ribbons for to tie around his waist So the ladies shall know that he's married, married So the ladies shall all know that he's married' At the age of sixteen well he was a married man And at the age of seventeen the father to a son At the age of eighteen, love, his grave was growing green And so she saw the end of his growing, growing And so she saw the end of his growing I made my love a shroud of the holland oh so fine And every stitch I put in it the tears come trickling down Oh I once had a sweetheart but now I've never one Farewell my own true love for growing, growing Fare thee well my own true love for growing
