Daily Growing [Song]
The trees, they grow high, and the leaves, they do grow greenMany is the time my true love I've seenMany an hour I watched him all aloneHe's young but he's daily growingFather, dear father, you've done me great wrongYou have married me to a boy who is too youngI am twice twelve and he is but fourteenHe's young but he's daily growingDaughter, dear daughter, I've done you no wrongI have married you to a great lord's sonAnd he will be a man for you when I am dead and goneHe's young but he's daily growingFather, dear father, if you see fitWe'll send him to college for another year yetI'll tie a blue ribbon all around his headTo let the maidens know that he is marriedOne day I was looking over my father's castle wallI spied all the boys playing with a ballLetras de cancionesAnd my own true love, he was the flower of them allHe's young but he's daily growingAnd so early in the morning at the dawning of the dayThey went into a hayfield for to have some sport and playAnd what they did there she never would declareBut she never more complained of his growingAt the age of fourteen he was a married manAt the age of fifteen, the father of my sonAt the age of sixteen, his grave, it was greenAnd death had put an end to his growingI'll buy my love some flannel, I'll make my love a shroudAnd every stitch I put in it, the tears, they'll pour downAmd every stitch I put in it, how the tears, they will flowCruel fate has put an end to his growing
