[00:00.000] 作曲 : Traditional
[00:20.530]The trees they grow high and the leaves they  do grow green,
[00:26.710]Many is  time my true love I've seen,
[00:33.700]Many an hour I have watched him all alone,
[00:38.490]He's young but he's daily growing.
[00:46.610]Father, dear father, you've done me great wrong,
[00:52.120]You have married me to a boy who is too young,
[00:58.510]I am twice twelve and he is about fourteen,
[01:05.860]He's young but he's daily growing
[01:12.720]Daughter, dear daughter, I've done you no wrong,
[01:19.000]I have married you to a great lord's son,
[01:25.450]He will be a man for you when I am dead and gone,
[01:31.730]He's young but he's daily growing
[01:37.970]
[01:48.700]Father, dear father, if you see fit,
[01:54.420]We send him to college for another year yet,
[02:01.170]I'll tie a blue ribbon all around his head,
[02:07.340]To let the maidens know that he is married.
[02:14.540]One day I was looking over my fathers castle wall,
[02:21.100]I spied all the boys playing with a ball,
[02:27.290]And my own true love he was the flower of them all,
[02:33.420]He's young but he's daily growing
[02:46.770]
[02:50.450]And so early in the morning at the dawning of the day,
[02:56.820]They went into a hayfield to have some sport and play,
[03:03.600]And what they did there she never would declare,
[03:09.780]But she never more complained of his growing.
[03:17.900]At the age of fourteen he was a married man,
[03:23.530]At the age of fifteen the father of my son,
[03:30.140]At the age of sixteen his grave it was green,
[03:36.440]And death had put an end to his growing.
[03:43.360]I'll buy my love some flannel, I'll make my love a shroud,
[03:49.800]With every stitch I put in it, the tears they will pour down,
[03:55.690]With every stitch I put in it, how the tears they will flow,
[04:02.100]Cruel fate has put an end to his growing.
