The Trees They Do Grow High - Pentangle[00:00:00]

Written by：Traditional[00:00:04]

Trees they grow high and[00:00:12]

The leaves they do grow green[00:00:15]

Many is the time my true love I seen[00:00:19]

Many an hour I've watched him all alone[00:00:25]

He's young but he's daily growing[00:00:30]

Father dear father[00:00:40]

You've done me great wrong[00:00:43]

You've married me to a boy who is too young[00:00:46]

I am twice twelve and he is but fourteen[00:00:52]

He's young but he's daily growing[00:00:58]

Daughter dear daughter[00:01:07]

I've done you no wrong[00:01:10]

I've married you to a brave lord's son[00:01:14]

He'll be a man to you when I am dead and gone[00:01:20]

He's young but he's daily growing[00:01:25]

Father dear father if you see fit[00:01:35]

We'll send my love to college for one year yet[00:01:40]

Tie blue ribbons all around his head[00:01:47]

To let the ladies know that he's married[00:01:53]

One day I was looking o'er my father's castle wall[00:02:01]

Saw'r all the boys a playin' with a ball[00:02:08]

My own true love was the flower of them all[00:02:14]

He's young but he's daily growing[00:02:19]

The age of fourteen he was a married man[00:02:51]

Age of fifteen the father of a son[00:02:58]

Age of sixteen on his grave the grass was green[00:03:04]

Cruel death had put an end to his growing[00:03:09]

I'll make my love a shroud of holland so fine[00:03:19]

Every stitch I put in it the tears come trickling[00:03:25]

Down[00:03:29]

Once I had a true love but now I've ne'er[00:03:31]

One[00:03:35]

But I'll watch o'er his son while he's growing[00:03:37]
