[Em]The[Bm][Em][G][D][Em][G]
[Em]trees they grow
[A]high and the [Em]leaves they do grow green
[G]Many is the[D] time my tru[Em]e

He's [G]young but he's [D]daily
[Em]growing
[Bm][Em]

[Verse 2]
[Em]Father, dear [A]father,
you've [Em]done me great wrong
[G]You have married me [D]to a

He's [G]young but he's [D]daily
[Em]growing

[Em]Daughter, dear [A]daughter,
I've [Em]done you no wrong

He's [G]young,
but he's [D]daily grow[Em]ing
[Bm][Em]

[Em]Father, dear [A]father, if [Em]you see fit

To [G]let the ladies [D]know that
he's [Em]married

[Em]
One day I was [A]looking over
my [Em]father's castle wall
[G]Saw all the[D] boys apl[Em]aying with the ball
My own true [A]love was the

He's [G]young, but he's [D]daily [Em]growing

At the [Em]age of [A]fourteen
he [Em]was a married man
[G]Age of fiftee[D]n the fat[Em]her of a son

Cruel [G]death had put an end
[D]to his [Em]growing

[Verse 7]
[Em]
I'll make my love [A]a shroud
at the [Em]hole in so fine
[G]Every stitch I put[D] in it, the tea[Em]rs
come trickling down
Once I [A]had a true love but [Em]not narrow one
But [G]I'll watch out his [D]son
'cause he's [A]growing
