[100:00.00]The trees they grow so high and the leaves they do grow green'
[100:00.01]And many a cold winter's night my love and i have seen.
[100:00.02]Of a cold winter's night' my love' you and i alone have been'
[100:00.03]Whilst my bonny boy is young' he's a-gowing.
[100:00.04]Growing' growing'
[100:00.05]Whilst my bonny boy is young' he's a-gowing.


[100:00.06]O father' dearest father' you've done to me great wrong'
[100:00.07]You've tied me to a boy when you know he is too young.
[100:00.08]O daughter' dearest daughter' if you wait a little while'
[100:00.09]A lady you shall be while he's growing.
[100:00.010]Growing' growing'
[100:00.11]A lady you shall be while he's growing.



[100:00.12]I'll send your love to college all for a year or two
[100:00.13]And then in the meantime he will do for you;
[100:00.14]I'll buy him white ribbons' tie them round his bonney waist
[100:00.15]To let the ladies know that he's married.
[100:00.16]Married' married'
[100:00.17]To let the ladies know that he's married.



[100:00.18]I went up to the college and i looked over the wall'
[100:00.19]Saw four and twenty gentlemen playing at bat and ball.
[100:00.20]I called to my true love' but they would not let hime come'
[100:00.21]All because he was a young boy and growing.
[100:00.22]Growing' growing'
[100:00.23]All because he was a young boy and growing.



[100:00.24]At the age of sixteen' he was a married man
[100:00.25]And at the age of seventeen he was a father to a son'
[100:00.26]And at the age of eighteen the grass grew over him'
[100:00.27]Cruel death soon put an end to his growing.
[100:00.28]Growing' growing'
[100:00.29]Cruel death soon put an end to his growing.



[100:00.30]And now my love is dead and in his grave doth lie'
[100:00.31]The green grass grows o'er him so very' very high.
[100:00.32]I'll sit and i'll mourn his fate until the day i die'
[100:00.33]And i'll watch o'er his child while he's growing.
[100:00.34]Growing' growing'
[100:00.35]And i'll watch o'er his child while he's growing.
