[00:11.989]The trees they grow tall, the grass is growing green;
[00:19.123]Many a cold and winter night that I alone have been
[00:26.865]It is a cold and cruel night when I must lie alone
[00:34.490]The Bonny Boy is young, but he is growing
[00:45.385]Oh! father, dear father I think you done me wrong
[00:52.978]To go and get me married to one who is so young
[01:01.313]For he is only sixteen years and I am twenty-one
[01:08.265]The bonny boy is young but he's growing
[01:19.936]Oh! daughter, dear daughter, I did not do you wrong
[01:27.378]For I have married you to a rich man's son
[01:34.958]And he shall be a match for thee when I am dead and gone
[01:43.828]He is young, but he is daily growing
[01:54.510]Oh! father, dear father, I'll tell you what I'll do;
[02:01.475]I'll send the boy to college for another year or two;
[02:09.235]And all around his college cap, I'll bind a ribbon blue
[02:16.711]For to let the ladies know that he's married
[02:28.906]A year it went by and I passed the college wall
[02:35.858]And saw the young collegians a-playing at the ball;
[02:43.455]Amidst them was my own true love, the fairest of them all
[02:51.817]He was young but he was daily growing
[03:03.296]At the age of sixteen he was a married man
[03:10.176]And at the age of seventeen he was the father of a son
[03:17.552]At the age of eighteen, his grave had all grown green;
[03:26.476]And the death put an end to his growing
[03:37.224]I'll make my love a shroud of ornamental brown;
[03:44.270]And whilst I am a making it, the tears they will run down;
[03:52.355]For once I had my own love, now he's lying low
[04:00.073]And I'll nurse his bonny boy while he's growing
