[00:00:00] The trees they grow so high

[00:00:03] And the leaves they do grow green

[00:00:07] And many a cold winter's night my love and I have seen

[00:00:13] Of a cold winter's night my

[00:00:16] Love you and I alone have been

[00:00:19] Whilst my bonny boy is young he's a-growing

[00:00:26] Growing growing

[00:00:29] Whilst my bonny boy is young he's a-growing

[00:00:36] O father dearest father you've done to me great wrong

[00:00:42] You've tied me to a boy

[00:00:45] When you know he is too young

[00:00:47] O daughter dearest daughter if you wait a little while

[00:00:54] A lady you shall be while he's growing

[00:01:00] Growing growing

[00:01:03] A lady you shall be while he's growing

[00:01:11] I'll send your love to college all for a year or two

[00:01:16] And then in the meantime he will do for you

[00:01:22] I'll buy him white ribbons

[00:01:25] Tie them round his bonny waist

[00:01:28] To let the ladies know that he's married

[00:01:34] Married married

[00:01:37] To let the ladies know that he's married

[00:01:45] I went up to the college and I looked over the wall

[00:01:50] Saw four and twenty gentlemen playing at bat and ball

[00:01:56] I called to my true love

[00:01:59] But they would not let him come

[00:02:01] All because he was a young boy and growing

[00:02:08] Growing growing

[00:02:11] All because he was a young boy and growing

[00:02:18] At the age of sixteen he was a married man

[00:02:23] And at the age of seventeen

[00:02:26] He was a father to a son

[00:02:28] And at the age of eighteen the grass grew over him

[00:02:34] Cruel death soon put an end to his growing

[00:02:41] Growing growing

[00:02:44] Cruel death soon put an end to his growing

[00:02:53] And now my love is dead and in his grave doth lie

[00:03:00] The green grass grows o'er him so very very high

[00:03:07] I'll sit and I'll mourn his fate until the day I die

[00:03:15] And I'll watch o'er his child while he's growing

[00:03:23] Growing growing

[00:03:26] And I'll watch o'er his child while he's growing
