《The Bonnie Boy》歌词

[00:00:00] The Bonnie Boy - Mary O'Hara

[00:00:08] The trees are growing high

[00:00:11] My loving grass is growing green

[00:00:16] And many the cold and winter night

[00:00:19] That I alone have been

[00:00:23] It is a cruel and beaten night

[00:00:26] That I must lie alone

[00:00:29] Oh the bonny boy is young

[00:00:33] But he's growing

[00:00:38] Oh father dear father

[00:00:41] I think you did me wrong

[00:00:43] For to go and get me married

[00:00:45] To one that is so young

[00:00:48] He is but sixteen years

[00:00:51] And I am twenty-one

[00:00:53] Oh the bonny boy is young

[00:00:56] But he's growing

[00:00:59] Oh daughter dear daughter

[00:01:02] I did not do you wrong

[00:01:05] For to go and get you married

[00:01:07] To one that is so young

[00:01:10] He will be a match for you

[00:01:12] And I am dead and gone

[00:01:15] Oh the bonny boy is young

[00:01:18] But he's growing

[00:01:22] Oh father dear father

[00:01:25] I'll tell you what I'll do

[00:01:28] I'll send my love to college

[00:01:30] For another year or two

[00:01:33] And all around his college cap

[00:01:35] I'll bind a ribbon blue

[00:01:38] For to let the ladies know

[00:01:40] That he's married

[00:01:44] A year it went by

[00:01:46] And I passed the college wall

[00:01:49] And saw the young collegians

[00:01:52] A-playing at the ball

[00:01:54] I spiting mean amongst them

[00:01:57] The fairest of them all

[00:02:00] Oh my bonny boy was young

[00:02:05] And still growing

[00:02:10] At the age of sixteen years

[00:02:13] He was a married man

[00:02:16] And at the age of seventeen

[00:02:19] The father of a son

[00:02:22] But at the age of eighteen

[00:02:25] All his graved grass grow green

[00:02:29] The cruel death put an end to his growing

[00:02:38] I'll buy my love a shroud

[00:02:43] Of the ornamental brown

[00:02:47] And whilst they are making it

[00:02:50] The tears they will run down

[00:02:55] It once I had a true love

[00:02:59] But now he's lying low

[00:03:03] And I'll nurse his bonny boy

[00:03:09] While he's growing
