[00:08.37]Oh the trees they grow tall and the leaves they are green
[00:59.04]And many a time my true love I've seen
[01:08.97]And many a night how I walked all alone
[01:23.04]When my Johnny was a long time a growin'
[01:25.83]I remember so well over my father's wall
[01:40.20]I heard the boys a singin' I could hear them dancin' call
[01:54.60]And my own true love was the fairest of them all
[02:13.11]He's young but he's daily a growin'
[02:26.64]Oh father dear father you've done me great wrong
[02:38.25]You've married me off to a boy that's much too young
[02:47.28]Oh I am twice twelve and he's but fourteen
[02:54.18]He's young but he's daily growin'
[03:04.17]Oh daughter dear daughter I have done you no wrong
[03:21.12]I've married you to a rich man's son
[03:34.20]For he will be a lord for you to wait upon
[03:45.78]Yes he's young but he's daily a growin'
[04:03.78]At the age of fourteen he was a married man
[04:17.45]At the age of fifteen the father of a son
[04:27.27]At the age of sixteen his grave it was green
[04:43.77]And death put a stop to his growin'
[04:55.05]But he born me one son so I can pass the time
[05:00.99]Watchin' my boy rise to grow a year
[05:13.38]An' I will watch him rise till he's become a man
[05:23.34]He's young now but he's daily a growin'
[05:33.57]Oh
