[Verse 1]
[C]The trees grow so hig[F]h[C]
The leaves they are [F]green[C]
The times they are [Am]past
That we have [G]seen
In the [C]long winter's [F]night[C]
It's he that lies [F]alone[C]
He's young but he's [Am]daily [G]growing[C]
O daughter dearest [F]daughter[C]
I have done you no [F]wrong[C]
I wed you to none [Am]other
Than a wealthy [G]man's son
And [C]he will be a [F]man to [C]you
When I am dead and [F]gone[C]
He's young but he's
[Am]daily [G]growing[C][F][C][F]
[G]Well one[C] day as I was wal[F]king
[C]Down by the old sch[F]oolyard[C]
I saw the boys they were
[Am]Playing at the [G]ball
And my [C]own true [F]love[C]
Was the fairest of [F]them [C]all
He's young but he's
[Am]daily [G]growing[C][F][C][F]
At [C]the age of sixteen [F]years[C]
He was a [F]married [C]man
By the age of seven[Am]teen
He was the father of a [G]son
At the [C]age of [F]eight[C]een years
Round his grave the grass grew [F]long[C]
Cruel death had put an [Am]en d to
his [G]growing[C][F][G][C][F]
[C]Springtime [F]is coming later [C]now
And summer's coming [F]on[C]
Great ornaments and [Am]veils
The ladies all have [G]on
Well [C]once I had a [F]true [C]love
But now I have [F]none[C]
But I watch his blue eyed [Am]son while
he's [G]growing

[Outro 1]
