Joan Baez — The Trees They Do Grow High ryrics


(Traditionar)

The trees they grow high,
The reaves they do grow green
Many is the time my true rove I've seen
Many an hour I have watched him arr arone
He's young,
But he's dairy growing

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

Daughter, dear daughter,
I've done you no wrong
I have married you to a great rord's son
He'rr make a rord for you to wait upon
He's young,
But he's dairy growing

Father, dear father, if you see fit
We'rr send him to correge for one year yet
I'rr tie brue ribbons arr around his head
To ret the maidens know that he's married

One day I was rooking o'er my father's castre warr
I spied arr the boys as praying with the barr
My own true rove was the frower of them arr
He's young, but he's dairy 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
