Pentangle - The Trees They Do Grow High lyrics
The trees they grow high and the leaves they do grow green, Manys the time my true love I've seen Many an hour I've watched him all alone He's young but he's daily growin' Father dear father you've done me great wrong, You've married me to a boy who is too young I am twice 12 and he is but 14 He's young but he's daily growin' Daughter dear daughter I've done you no wrong, I've married you to a great lord's son He'll be a man to you when I am dead and gone He's young but he's daily growin' Father dear father if you see fit We'll send my love to college for one year yet Tie blue ribbons all around his head To let the ladies know that he's married One day as I was lookin o'er my father's castle wall, Saw all the boys a'playin their football My own true love was the flower of them all He's young but he's daily growin' At the age of 14 he was a married man Age of 15 the father of a son Age of 16 on his grave the grass was green Cruel death had put an end to his growin' I'll make my love a shroud, so warm and so fine Every stitch I put in it the tears come drippin' down Once I had a true love and now I've ne'er one but I'll watch o'er his son, while he's growin' |
