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

[00:00:04] Written by：Traditional

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:40] Father dear father

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

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

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

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

[00:01:07] Daughter dear daughter

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:29] Down

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

[00:03:35] One

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