| [00:00.650] |
He's young but he's daily growin' |
| [00:15.070] |
Oh, daughter, dearest daughter, I have done you no wrong |
| [00:40.750] |
I've wed you to none other than a wealthy man's son |
| [00:58.310] |
And he will be a man to you when I am dead and gone |
| [01:20.530] |
He's young but he's daily growin' |
| [01:34.430] |
For out one day as I was walkin' all alone |
| [01:50.540] |
Down by the school wall |
| [02:03.760] |
I saw the boys, they were playin' at the ball |
| [02:21.270] |
And my own true love was the fairest of them all |
| [02:43.220] |
He was young but he was daily growin' |
| [02:57.990] |
At the age of sixteen years, he was a married man |
| [03:21.580] |
At the age of seventeen, he was the father of a son |
| [03:38.940] |
At the age of eighteen years |
| [03:48.340] |
Round his graves the grass grew long |
| [04:01.360] |
Cruel death has put an end to his growin' |
| [04:16.120] |
Ah, the springtime is leavin' now as summer's coming on |
| [04:41.990] |
With ornaments and fans, the ladies all pass on |
| [04:59.060] |
Oh, it's once I had a true love, but now I have none |
| [05:21.250] |
But I watch his bonnie son while he's growin' |
