letra de the trees they do grow high - maija sofia

the trees they do grow high and the leaves they do grow green
it’s many a cold winter’s night my love and i have seen
on a cold winter night, my love, you and i alone have been
oh my bonny boy is young, but he’s growing

oh father, dear father, you’ve done to me much harm
to go and get me married to one who is so young
for he is only fifteen years and i am twenty-one
oh my bonny boy is young, but he’s growing
growing, growing, my bonny boy is young but he’s growing

oh daughter, dear daughter, i’ll tell you what i’ll do
i’ll send your love to college for another year or two
and all around his college cap i’ll tie a ribbon blue
to let the ladies know that he’s married
married, married, to let the ladies know that he’s married

and at the age of fifteen he was a married man
and at the age of seventeen a father to a son
and at the age of eighteen the grass grew over him
cruel death soon put an end to his growing
growing, growing, cruel death soon put an end to his growing

and now my love is dead and in his grave doth lie
the green grass grows over him so very very high
i will sit and mourn his death until the day i die
and i’ll watch all over his child as he’s growing
growing, growing, i’ll watch over his child as he’s growing
