The Bonnie Boy - Mary O'Hara[00:00:00]
The trees are growing high[00:00:08]
My loving grass is growing green[00:00:11]
And many the cold and winter night[00:00:16]
That I alone have been[00:00:19]
It is a cruel and beaten night[00:00:23]
That I must lie alone[00:00:26]
Oh the bonny boy is young[00:00:29]
But he's growing[00:00:33]
Oh father dear father[00:00:38]
I think you did me wrong[00:00:41]
For to go and get me married[00:00:43]
To one that is so young[00:00:45]
He is but sixteen years[00:00:48]
And I am twenty-one[00:00:51]
Oh the bonny boy is young[00:00:53]
But he's growing[00:00:56]
Oh daughter dear daughter[00:00:59]
I did not do you wrong[00:01:02]
For to go and get you married[00:01:05]
To one that is so young[00:01:07]
He will be a match for you[00:01:10]
And I am dead and gone[00:01:12]
Oh the bonny boy is young[00:01:15]
But he's growing[00:01:18]
Oh father dear father[00:01:22]
I'll tell you what I'll do[00:01:25]
I'll send my love to college[00:01:28]
For another year or two[00:01:30]
And all around his college cap[00:01:33]
I'll bind a ribbon blue[00:01:35]
For to let the ladies know[00:01:38]
That he's married[00:01:40]
A year it went by[00:01:44]
And I passed the college wall[00:01:46]
And saw the young collegians[00:01:49]
A-playing at the ball[00:01:52]
I spiting mean amongst them[00:01:54]
The fairest of them all[00:01:57]
Oh my bonny boy was young[00:02:00]
And still growing[00:02:05]
At the age of sixteen years[00:02:10]
He was a married man[00:02:13]
And at the age of seventeen[00:02:16]
The father of a son[00:02:19]
But at the age of eighteen[00:02:22]
All his graved grass grow green[00:02:25]
The cruel death put an end to his growing[00:02:29]
I'll buy my love a shroud[00:02:38]
Of the ornamental brown[00:02:43]
And whilst they are making it[00:02:47]
The tears they will run down[00:02:50]
It once I had a true love[00:02:55]
But now he's lying low[00:02:59]
And I'll nurse his bonny boy[00:03:03]
While he's growing[00:03:09]
