letra de bonnie boy is young - judy collins
the trees they grow tall, the gr-ss is growing green;
many a cold and winter night that i alone have been
it is a cold and cruel night when i must lie alone
the bonny boy is young, but he is growing
oh! father, dear father i think you done me wrong
to go and get me married to one who is so young
for he is only sixteen years and i am twenty-one
the bonny boy is young but he’s growing
oh! daughter, dear daughter, i did not do you wrong
for i have married you to a rich man’s son
and he shall be a match for thee when i am dead and gone
he is young, but he is daily growing
oh! father, dear father, i’ll tell you what i’ll do;
i’ll send the boy to college for another year or two;
and all around his college cap, i’ll bind a ribbon blue
for to let the ladies know that he’s married
a year it went by and i p-ssed the college wall
and saw the young collegians a-playing at the ball;
amidst them was my own true love, the fairest of them all
he was young but he was daily growing
at the age of sixteen he was a married man
and at the age of seventeen he was the father of a son
at the age of eighteen, his grave had all grown green;
and the death put an end to his growing
i’ll make my love a shroud of ornamental brown;
and whilst i am a making it, the tears they will run down;
for once i had my own love, now he’s lying low
and i’ll nurse his bonny boy while he’s growing
