[00:00.193]The trees they grow so high and the leaves they do grow green,
[00:07.709]And many a cold winter's night my love and I have seen.
[00:14.980]Of a cold winter's night, my love, you and I alone have been,
[00:24.005]Whilst my bonny boy is young, he's a-growing.
[00:32.530]Growing, growing,
[00:37.545]Whilst my bonny boy is young, he's a-growing.
[00:45.825]「☽」
[00:46.826]O father, dearest father, you've done to me great wrong,
[00:53.844]You've tied me to a boy when you know he is too young.
[01:02.375]O daughter, dearest daughter, if you wait a little while,
[01:11.659]A lady you shall be while he's growing.
[01:20.679]Growing, growing,
[01:25.194]A lady you shall be while he's growing.
[01:33.721]「☁︎」
[01:34.726]I'll send your love to college all for a year or two
[01:42.250]And then in the meantime he will do for you;
[01:50.275]I'll buy him white ribbons, tie them round his bonny waist
[01:59.045]To let the ladies know that he's married.
[02:08.716]Married, married,
[02:12.479]To let the ladies know that he's married.
[02:20.249]「★」
[02:21.253]I went up to the college and I looked over the wall,
[02:26.267]Saw four and twenty gentlemen playing at bat and ball.
[02:31.787]I called to my true love, but they would not let him come,
[02:37.562]All because he was a young boy and growing.
[02:44.328]Growing, growing,
[02:47.844]All because he was a young boy and growing.
[02:53.860]「♥︎」
[02:55.113]At the age of sixteen, he was a married man
[03:00.128]And at the age of seventeen he was a father to a son,
[03:06.395]And at the age of eighteen the grass grew over him,
[03:13.411]Cruel death soon put an end to his growing.
[03:21.185]Growing, growing,
[03:25.960]Cruel death soon put an end to his growing.
[03:32.977]「✞」
[03:35.480]And now my love is dead and in his grave doth lie,
[03:43.750]The green grass grows o'er him so very, very high.
[03:52.536]I'll sit and I'll mourn his fate until the day I die,
[04:03.250]And I'll watch o'er his child while he's growing.
[04:11.026]Growing, growing,
[04:18.802]And I'll watch o'er his child while he's growing.
