[00:07.83] Trees, they grow high and the leaves they do grow green
[00:13.78] Many is the time my true love I've seen
[00:18.78] Many an hour I have watched him all alone
[00:23.13] He's young but he's daily growing
[00:34.84] Father, dear, father you've done me great wrong
[00:39.78] You've married me to a boy who is too young
[00:45.29] I'm twice twelve and he is but fourteen
[00:49.81] He's young but he's daily growing
[01:01.58] Daughter, dear daughter, I've done you no wrong
[01:06.72] I have married you to a great lord's son
[01:11.76] He'll make a lord for you to wait upon
[01:16.25] He's young but he's daily growing
[01:27.92] Father, dear father, if you see fit
[01:32.47] We'll send him to college for one year yet
[01:37.41] I'll tie blue ribbons all around his head
[01:42.95] To let the maidens know that he's married
[01:56.27] One day, I was looking o'er my father's castle wall
[02:01.43] I spied all the boys a-playing with the ball
[02:06.57] My own true love was the flower of them all
[02:11.85] He's young but he's daily growing
[02:21.48] At the age of fourteen, he was a married man
[02:27.27] At the age of fifteen, the father of a son
[02:32.59] At the age of sixteen, his grave it was green
[02:39.98] And death had put an end to his growing
