The Trees They Do Grow High - Joan Baez (琼·贝兹)
The trees they grow high
The leaves they do grow green

Many is the time my true love I've seen

Many an hour I have watched him all alone
He's young
But he's daily growing

Father dear father
You've done me great wrong
You have married me to a boy who is too young
I'm twice twelve and he is but fourteen
He's young
But he's daily growing

Daughter dear daughter
I've done you no wrong
I have married you to a great lord's son
He'll make a lord for you to wait upon
He's young
But he's daily growing

Father dear father if you see fit

We'll send him to college for one year yet

I'll tie blue ribbons all around his head
To let the maidens know that he's married

One day I was looking o'er my father's castle wall
I spied all the boys as playing with the ball

My own true love was the flower of them all

He's young but he's daily growing

At the age of fourteen he was a married man
At the age of fifteen the father of a son
At the age of sixteen his grave it was green

And death had put an end to his growing
