[00:00:00] Daily Growing - Sheila Stratton

[00:00:00] Written by：Traditional

[00:00:00] Trees they grow high and the leaves they do grow green

[00:00:08] Many is the time my true love I've seen

[00:00:15] Many an hour I watched him all alone

[00:00:21] He's young but he's daily growing

[00:00:28] Father dear father you've done me great wrong

[00:00:34] You have married me to a boy who is too young

[00:00:40] I am twice twelve and he is but fourteen

[00:00:46] He's young but he's daily growing

[00:00:53] Daughter dear daughter I've done you no wrong

[00:01:00] I have married you to a great Lord's son

[00:01:06] He will be a man for you when

[00:01:09] I am dead and gone

[00:01:12] He's young but he's daily growing

[00:01:19] Father dear father if you see fit

[00:01:25] We'll send him to college for another year yet

[00:01:31] I'll tie a blue ribbon all around his head

[00:01:37] To let the maidens know that he is married

[00:01:44] One day I was looking over my father's castle wall

[00:01:50] I spied all the boys playing with a ball

[00:01:56] And my own true love he was the flower of them all

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

[00:02:09] Early in the morning at the dawning of the day

[00:02:14] They went into a hayfield to have some sport and play

[00:02:21] And what they did there she never would declare

[00:02:26] But she never more complained of his growing

[00:02:32] At the age of fourteen he was a married man

[00:02:38] At the age of fifteen the father of my son

[00:02:44] At the age of sixteen his grave it was green

[00:02:49] And death had put an end to his growing

[00:02:56] I'll buy my love some flannel I'll make my love a shroud

[00:03:02] And every stitch I put in it the tears they'll pour down

[00:03:08] Every stitch I put in it how the tears they will flow

[00:03:13] Cruel fate has put an end to his growing
