Liam Clancy - Lang A-Growing lyrics
Oh the trees they are high, and the grass is growing green. And many's the day and night have passed that I alone have been. It is a cruel and bitter night that I must lie alone. For my bonnie lad is Lang, Lang a Growing. Oh Father dearest Father, you have done what's very wrong. You have married me to a Bonnie lad but I feel he is too young. For he is only 15 years and I am 21. He's a bonnie lad but Lang,Lang a Growing. Oh Daughter dearest Daughter, I have done you no wrong. For I have wedded you to a noble mans son. And he will be a man for you when I am dead and gone. He's a bonnie lad but Lang, Lang a Growing. Oh Father dearest Father, I'll tell you what we'll do, we'll send him off to College for another year or two. And all around his college cap we'll bind a ribbon blue For to let the ladies know that he's married. A year it went by and I passed the College wall. And there I saw the college boys and they all playing ball. I spied him in amongst them,the fairest of them all. He's a bonnie lad but Lang,Lang a Growing. At the age of 15 years he was a married man. At the age of 16 years he was the father of a son. At the age of 17 o'er his grave the grass grew green. Cruel death had put an end to his growing. I'll buy my love a shroud of the ornamental brown, and while they are making it, the tears they will run down. It's once I had a true love but now he's lying low. But I'll watch his bonnie son while he's growing. |
