[Verse 1]
The trees, they grow Ghigh, and the Fleaves, they do grow Emgreen

FMany an Ghour I Amwatched him all aEmlone
He's Gyoung but he's daily Fgrowing
[Verse 2]
AmFather, dear Gfather, you've Fdone me great Emwrong
GYou have married me to a Dboy who is too Emyoung
FI am twice Gtwelve and Amhe is but fourEmteen
He's Gyoung but he's daily Fgrowing
[Verse 3]
AmDaughter, dear Gdaughter, I've Fdone you no Emwrong
GI have married you to a Dgreat lord's Emson
And Fhe will be a Gman for you when AmI am dead and Emgone
He's Gyoung but he's daily Fgrowing
[Interlude]
G   F   D  G
[Verse 4]
AmFather, dear Gfather, if Fyou see Emfit
We'll Gsend him to college for aDnother year Emyet
I'll Ftie a blue Gribbon Amall around his Emhead
To Glet the maidens know that he is Fmarried
[Verse 5]
One Amday I was Glooking over my Ffather's castle Emwall

He's Gyoung but he's daily Fgrowing
[Interlude]

And so Amearly in the Gmorning at the Fdawning of the Emday
They Gwent into a hayfield for to Dhave some sport and Emplay
And Fwhat they did Gthere, oh, she Amnever would deEmclare
But she Gnever more complained of his Fgrowing
[Verse 7]
AmAt the age of Gfourteen he Fwas a married Emman

FAt the age of Gsixteen, his Amgrave, it was Emgreen
And Gdeath had put an end to his Fgrowing
[Verse 8]
I'll Ambuy my love some Gflannel, I'll Fmake my love a Emshroud
And Gevery stitch I put in it, the Dtears, they'll pour Emdown
And Fevery stitch I Gput in it, how the Amtears, they will Emflow
Cruel Gfate has put an end to his Fgrowing
[Outro]
